What originated as an 'invite only' event, the Abingdon Nightshoot has become an attraction in its own right over the past few years, with up to 100 people attending. Once again organised by Threshold.aero, the chance to get onto the airfield for a sunset and evening photocall and 'shoot' some of the aircraft taking part in the Abingdon Air and Country Fayre has long been regarded as something not to miss. Taking place this year on May 4, historic subjects included North American P-51D Miss Helen, the Historic Army Aircraft Flight's de Havilland Beaver AL.1, Auster A0P.9, Bell Sioux AH.1 and Westland Scout AH.1 with Kevin Hale's camouflaged Auster A0P.6, TW536. Sadly, it was announced after the 2019 show that this would be the last to incorporate a flying display owing to ever increasing costs year on year. Instead, plans are being formulated to expand the country show theme and host a large fly-in.
