Eshott
Northumberland
Saturday 27 January 2024 by David Thompson
The airfield was hosting a Threshold Aero night-shoot, their first in the north of England; https://www.threshold.aero/, so I went along for a behind the scenes look at how these events take place as well as taking the opportunity to have a look around the hangars and the resident aircraft as it seemed a shame not too!
This inaugural event was well supported locally with people also attending from Bournemouth, Portsmouth and some hopping south across the Border from Scotland all of which all bodes well for future events in our patch.
As ever on my visits to Eshott I called at nearby Causey Park Airfield were the hangar was locked but through a gap in the door I noted;
