Solway Nightshoot. 15th of October

Just trying to canvas some interest in this nightshoot.

This is the message i got from Kieron. I need to know before the 15th of September if people are interested. the vulcan under moonlight is spectacular.

We have a provisional date, just going to firm it up in the next couple of days, but Saturday 15th October is looking the favourite. Sunset at 1812, moonrise at 1817 (full moon). I will arrange for the Vulcan to be cleared of all signs, covers, barriers etc., so if the sun is out and anyone wants to arrive early, clean daytime shots will be available as well. If we can get at least 15 people, who are willing to pay £20 in advance, then this will also entitle you to museum membership and entrance (£15 is the fee), and this will allow you to visit the museum as many times as you wish over 12 months. We are currently working on a quarterly newsletter regarding the museum and maybe Carlisle airport movements, and this will be sent to all members via email as part of the membership. I will need to get the Whirlwind cleaned up (bird droppings !) so that WV198 will be available, which is next to the Phantom. The Meteor is also in very good condition and as far as I can remember, we have not lit that up yet for a nightshoot.

Sounds very good. Nice touch to give 12 months access away with a nightshoot. Selling it with the promise of the moon is probably a little hopeful in this country though!

Really?

Due to it being so late in confirmation for the go ahead its now going to be sometime next year. I will keep you posted when. Its a really good set up at the airfield and worth the trip.
