Perfect RAF Cosford

The RAF Cosford Nightshoot was only just a nightshoot but the aircraft parking was perfect, Threshold must put a lot of effort and time into planning their events. Disappointed that the Eurofighter wasn’t there but there’s always another time, and we did get more aircraft to shoot instead.

BDAC Nightshoot III

I've attended many of the Threshold Aero events, each & every time their organisation just seems to get better & better, Needless to say my photographic results have immensely improved also.

The team are well organised, knowledgeable, friendly and cannot do enough to help you get the image that you want. If you have a request or need advice, just ask a member of their staff and they'll do all they can to help you achieve what you need.

There'll always be negative feedback but in the 20 or so events I've attended I've never had an issue. I would recommend them to any serious aviation enthusiast.

Cosford Night Shot

A great event that was well organised and well supported by the RAF. I would encourage anyone thinking to attend one of Threshold's events to just go ahead and do it!

Highly recommended events

Most excellent events, having done plenty with Threshold, I can highly recommend a photoshoot with these guys. They take a relaxed friendly approach to organising their shoots and always willing to help you if you require it.

This lot bore the tits off me

This lot bore the tits off me. Boring events that are run by boring individuals who are rude and unwelcoming. I have ADHD and this isn’t respected and accepted. Boring!!!

Reply from Threshold.aero

Thank you to Nick Farrington from Chepstow for this fake review, impersonating Shaun Grist, who he has a vendetta against. Nothing could be further from the truth, but we’d expect that considering you’ve never been to one of our events.

Overall these events are excellent

Overall these events are excellent, however a few ideas for possible improvements.

Sometimes the aircraft are parked with cluttered backgrounds, an example is the BAe Hawk at the recent Cosford shoot. Parking on the other side of the taxiway would have produced much better and cleaner shots.

The variation of shots could be improved, how about lighting some of the aircraft during sunset (higher power settings on the lights) and using taxiway lights etc. to create a different effect. I have seen images with some blue lights being positioned around the aircraft, not happened on any of the shoots I have attended.

Overall these events are very good value for money compared to some of the other offerings, and are well worth supporting to obtain a different type of image.

Please ignore any reviews given by this 'Adrian Balch', who has hacked my account and is posing as me to discredit Threshold Aero. This matter is being taken seriously and will be dealt with accordingly. I have no agenda against Threshold Aero.

SWAM St Athan

SWAM St Athan, night shoot with some of the best preserved aircraft in the land. Fantastically well organised, the lighting was superb (when they say "trust us, it works" believe them!) The weather even played ball, it was worth the 10 hour round trip drive!

Threshold Aero Navy Wings Night Shoot 2021.

My wife and I attended the Navy Wings night shoot on 7th October 2021.
It was all really well organised from the parking to the briefing, the aircraft were well positioned some outside and some hangers. The hot running made for some great shots, even the weather was perfect-some briiant dusk photos.
Would highly recommend.

Great for Aviation Photography

I attended the Photoshoot at Spanhoe Lodge on September 25th 2021 organised by Threshold.aero.
It was very well organised - there were many aircraft positioned for photographers which must have taken a lot of muscle power to assemble. The debrief beforehand showed the Threshold staff to be competent, friendly and knowledgeable. Having been to a couple of similar events organised by Threshold in the past, I would feel confident that any future events would also be well planned and actioned.
