TCAHS Sywell Aerodrome Nightshoot III

Following the loss of his son, Thomas, in 2019, Ian Castle placed Thomas' de Havilland Tiger Moth in trust to provide flying scholarships to allow young pilots greater opportunities within vintage aviation. All proceeds from these events enable TCAHS to continue awarding scholarships.

Airfields are extremely hazardous areas, especially for those who are unfamiliar with them. We have done our utmost to ensure the event is as safe as possible, but need to ensure attendees are aware of potential hazards and will respond accordingly to any and all instructions from event staff.

Put a big coat and some good strong shoes on and bring a torch - it'll get dark. We recommend hearing protection as there is a strong chance that aircraft will run engines. As well as your camera, you'll want a tripod to put it on, and if you've got a shutter release cable, bring that too.

We use Nightsearcher portable LED floodlights which produce a bright white light which means there is no need for you to adjust your camera’s white balance. Please be mindful that, at the start of the event, the lights may not be as bright as you might like - give it time.

Once everyone has arrived and tickets have been checked, the event organiser will give everyone a briefing - this will include timings for any aircraft due to run its engine, safety information and whether food and drink is available. After that, you're free to take pictures!
