What Happens

Once everyone is parked, we will congregate at the check in flag for a safety brief in front of the main building.


After the safety briefing there will be a small talk from the GNAAS welcoming you all to their site. A tour of the aircraft will then take place and after that the photography will start. There will be an engine and rotors run during the evening.


We also reserve the right to cancel the event due to inclement weather (However this is extremely unlikely). If a cancellation due to the weather is deemed necessary, you will receive an email the evening before.

Description Title

Where we have announced engine runs, please bring your own ear protection, we may have limited munbers of foam plugs we can give out but this can't be guaranteed.


Please bring your own torch/head torch to help you see in the dark areas especially on grass.


We recommend the use of tripod leg lights or illuminous bands (not flashing), these help when moving position, so as not to knock over any equipment.
