Get up close and personal with two of Britain's former RAF Icons in the heart of Suffolk, Sunday 25th February 2018

About this event

It gives us great pleasure to announce another first for TimeLine Events, an afternoon, Sunset and Night at former RAF Wattisham photographing two iconic airframes that were once part of the RAF’s mainstay fighting the Cold War. What could be better than a Phantom and Hunter with the very British backdrop of a HAS (Hardened Aircraft Shelter).

In addition to Phantom XT914 & Hunter XG194 we will be joined by Lynx MK7 XZ605 and Gazelle XX444 now sporting a very good looking Desert Paint job. Couple the airframes with a few re-enactors, different lighting techniques, a little atmospheric smoke and we think will have a pretty special Sunday afternoon for all.

This event is raising much needed funds for the museum but being on MOD land we are strictly governed by the Wattisham Station Command and therefore have to limit participants to 50, because of this we expect tickets to sell fast. However before you book your place be aware that you will be required to have a Photo ID with you to gain access on to base on the day.

Our event will run from 15.00 through to 20.30 hours allowing plenty of time for photography and hopefully many different opportunities from daylight into nightfall. The aircraft will be positioned around the HAS and in the case of the Phantom in and outside of the HAS, ensuring that the backdrops are as authentic and devoid of modern buildings. We will also ensure the planes will be spaced to allow them to be photographed separately.

There is no catering on site but the museum volunteers are planning to have tea, coffees and cakes available for attendees to purchase for a small extra fee.

So come with us on a fully packed evening of Aircraft photography just off the A14 in Suffolk. 

Event cost £70.00 per person.
