Event: RAF Cosford Nightshoot
What with the Royal Air Force’s centenary being marked with events up and down the country this year, it makes sense for us to get in on the act – we being the organisers of aviation events, after all.
In preparation for their own celebrations in June of this year, the RAF Cosford Air Show team have been busy assembling a selection of aircraft from the past century of RAF history. They’ve very kindly agreed for some of those aircraft (yes, including Black Mike!) to be wheeled out of their hangars for one night!
Proceeds from this event will be donated to the RAF100 Appeal and 238 squadron charitable initiatives.

Re: Event: RAF Cosford Nightshoot
"Nightshoot to end all nightshoots" is quite a bold claim for something advertising exclusively dead aircraft. Particularly puzzled by the prominence of the "Black line up" given that black aircraft see typically very unsatisfying to photograph at night

We like to be bold! It's a fair claim though, in our opinion:
- Black Mike (never before, possibly never again)
- Hawk T1
- Two op GRANBY schemed aircraft
- Three QinetiQ aircraft, two in Ripple
- A Wessex and some other bits

We could repaint the Phantom, and the Hawk, but ticket prices would go up...
We've got lots of lights, it's all about getting them in the right place and making sure people can get the shots they want, rather than plonking them down and that's it! Other than the Phantom and Hawk, all the other aircraft are grey, yellow, green, pink or ripple

Re: Event: RAF Cosford Nightshoot
Was just thinking any chance of a tornado being wheeled out. I'm sure there stored with the jags or in a similar place

Earlier than planned, ticket sales will be closing at midnight tonight to allow us time to get the list to the Military Provost Guard Service.

Re: Event: RAF Cosford Nightshoot
Thanks for organising this, and to the RAF staff for hosting us last night. I thoroughly enjoyed the event, aircraft spaced out nicely, and the aerial-platforms were great! Well done....
Thanks,

Re: Event: RAF Cosford Nightshoot
It was a great event, hats off to all that made it happen
I was, however a little disappointed the lights at the Jags were switched off early

Night shoot. To be lit up like daylight.

Sorry about that Dom, the plan was to turn them off around 2030 so that we could re-use the lights on the lineup of black aircraft as it got properly dark, we jumped the gun a little bit and turned them off around 2015, leaving the lights on the Wessex, Harrier GR3, etc. - we'll sort that next time
