Bourne Park Night Photoshoot III - 22 October 2016

Post by The Gazelle Squadron »

The evening of Saturday 22 October 2016 will see Bourne Park Airfield in Hampshire host the third enthusiasts' night photo shoot, hosted by the Gazelle Squadron Display Team. Named BPNS III - the Westland Meetup, this event sees up to 10 helicopters designed or built by Westland Helicopters Ltd at Weston-Super-Mare and Yeovil illuminated against a picturesque countryside background. A number of aircraft will also have lights turned on or rotors turning for even more unique and special photographs.

Following the resounding success of the first two events, the third night photo shoot run will continue to build on the relaxed atmosphere, allowing photographers unique opportunities with aircraft rarely photographed at night.

The Gazelle Squadron Display Team itself intends provide a number Westland Gazelle helicopters, including XX436 in his new 705NAS colours. Additionally, a small number of fixed-wing aircraft have also been invited. We hope to be able to publish more information about participants on our Facebook and Twitter pages soon.

So, what are the '10 helicopters' & fixed-wing aircraft planned to attend? Still only four confirmed on the website?

From our website: http://www.gazellesquadron.co.uk/events ... tshoot-iii

BPNS III will be a "Westland Meetup" special, with a number of Westland designed and built helicopters invited. The Gazelle Squadron itself plans provide at least four Westland Gazelles for the event, including newly the repainted Gordon; XX436 in his new 705NAS colours. Finally, a small number of fixed-wing aircraft have also been invited, bringing the total planned participants to 10 aircraft. We hope to have more information on participants soon.

Confirmed aircraft
Agusta-Bell Sioux AH.1 XT131
Westland Gazelle HT.2 XX436
Westland Scout AH.1 XT626
Westland Wasp HAS.1 XT787
Westland Whirlwind HAR.10 XJ729


It's 10 aircraft total, rather than 10 helicopters. Of that, there's four visiting and four based, so eight announced. We've still got some more announcements to come - telling you now would kind of spoil the surprise ;)

Hope that helps :)

Wouldn't the addition of the Wessex from Biggin Hill be lovely.
