I'm sure many will be very interested in the event, but can the organisers expand a little on the "dynamic aircraft photo opps" advertised.
Will the aircraft be available people and clutter free at set times during the day for clear unobstructed photos with the sun (if out) nicely side on to them? Don't get me wrong, I'm expecting them to be available for people to look at closely during the day, I will be bringing my 5 year old daughter if I go, its just the temptation to get clear shots of the non flyers that appeals.

AARDVARK, the original ad for this event was in last month's " Flypast " and it stated that your paypal reciept was your entry ticket. I booked it some three weeks ago, got a confirmation Email but thats all, so I reckon the paypal reciept is the way in! Really hoping to reproduce an earlier post on here from COAP showing the Lightnings with a great woody background, totally uncluttered and people free, lined up in brilliant light! Well fingers crossed eh?

I asked on Facebook and they said the event will be in and around the Q-sheds, rather than the aircraft being towed to the Gilmorton end of the runway like for the COAP event.

Well, that might be good too.. depends on clutter, fingers still crossed!
