No, this is a male of Lamprohiza splendidula. The males of Lampyris noctiluca can fly, too, but have no functional luminescence organs. So if you see a flying and glowing male, it is always Lamprohiza splendidula.

Lampyris noctiluca adult males do have functional light organs.
It just are like in the larval stage, 2 small light organs, but still pretty well visible (it didn´t developed differently like in adult females).
