Second Bourne Park nightshoot, with some different types

You can ID the type and operator, so it's good enough for me! :lol:

The first Bourne Park nightshoot; nothing better than being part of the team successfully organising an event, at low cost, with 100% fill rate and no major criticisms!

Steve, I love the one of lindy. Without a doubt she was the star of the night i thought. Ok there might be a little bias there....

Radleigh I love the French falcon and the IL76, looks like it was a good night.
