SOLWAY AVIATION MUSUEM

Two photo shoots... Two museums... Two Vulcans... A team of re-enactors... Together over one weekend!

This represents a truly fantastic weekend of historic aviation photography that will see two COAP shoots over consecutive days. The first is being held at Solway Aviation Museum on Saturday 23rd and the second is at North East Land Sea & Air Museum on Sunday 24th.

Having two locations and an entire team of re-enactors together makes for an extremely rare opportunity to make this happen. Choose to do one event or the other, or both - the choice is yours - but don't miss out on this unique chance.

Saturday 23rd March is the first ever COAP photo shoot at the Solway Aviation Museum.

We are delighted to be working with the Solway Aviation Museum team for the first time and cannot wait to bring this great collection to life.

There will be living history scenes set up featuring an entire crew of re-enactors, inside and outside the hangars.

The primary targets for this shoot are as follows...

Vulcan B2 XJ823 (No 44 Squadron, complete with crew bus)

Phantom FGR2 XV406 (No 111 Squadron)

Lightning F53 ZF583 (in No 56 Squadron markings)

Meteor NF14 WS832

Each airframe will be subject to the COAP magic, with great scenes and lighting - with and without re-enactors.

NOTE! The following day, Sunday 24th, sees COAP travel a short distance east to the North East Land Sea & Air Museums (NELSAM), Sunderland, for another feast of living history photo shoots! See separate event entry on this website.
