That's because the first arrival wasn't until around 20:00

AJ404 has just departed. AJ107, a second emergency divert, arrived earlier.

Alpha Juliet 404 was the callsign (AJ404)

If only!

Yes, if the President is onboard one of the VH-3Ds (Which he will be) it will operate under the callsign of Marine 1. The second VH-3D and the CH-46Es will use a Nighthawk callsign, which is fixed for HMX-1 transport. The VH-3Ds are kitted out with the executive interior where as the CH-46Es are kit...

Do these look dark to anyone else? Interested to hear as these are the first images I've edited on my new screen.

They look very dark and underexposed to me too, nice and sharp though!

Those last three are rather nice, especially the Thomas Cook B757. It's good to see that someone else has found this spot actually

Are you a local to Gatwick?

The SOG do not fly any training missions on Fridays. Good Fridays and any national bank holidays are usually bad news for most bases anyway...

Your best bet would be one day next week

I don't suppose you could try getting the Good Year Blimp at Northolt for this Nightshoot Phil? Would be an interesting addition to the apron with the way it's lit from inside If they're still in the country by the 26th that is, im not sure when they go home... Noticed it on PhilWs post here http://...

The second shot is fantastic I didn't realise they were lit from the inside!

Wouldn't mind seeing that at a Northolt Nightshoot...

Avanti N79CN was the one at Biggin Hill today, departing at 16:35, unless there were two in today?
