The one under the hangar looks amazing, the covers and the tags actually show a different side to it. As mentioned above not fake and made to look "showroom" style, proper working aircraft. It looked a good experiance, very jealous.

I'd have jumped at the chance to attend this but I live wayyy too far away. However, this was a photo shoot. The comments about seeing the RAF for what they really look like and for seeing working machines is fine, but surely one has to think that they'd have at least made the aircraft look clean without the distractions. A prime example of what is, in my mind, an excellent thought is the fully armed typhoon in the shelter. Top marks for that. However, the steps left right in front of one of the Tornados isn't. Big no. You get enough of that at airshows. A very good starting point for the team at Coningsby, and hopefully they continue to do these sort of similar events in the future, but with some points made on here and on other sites taken into consideration. I'd bet a lot of money that the now highly successful nightshoot at Northolt wasn't great the first time, but look at it now. One of the best events, by the looks of the photos, that is available in the UK.

Loving the pics guys and to be honest, I never even noticed the covers until I read the following posts lol

A great way to boost funds for their bonfire night which will always be enjoyed by a 3 figure number of gatherers. Hopefully other camps would follow suit.
