Duxford Airshow 11th 12th July. Now there's a good Idea!

[rich]

I meant to ask - did the ground crew of the FW190 forget to slide back the step-up, or did this aircraft always fly with it like that? Or am I being extra dense and is it something else altogether?

You guys look great lined up in your A2's, I was too busy fooling around to pay you the compliment.

Many thanks to you all for posting the pics that were taken of the "Horseman" that met up on Saturday. For some reason I forgot to take any pictures of us all using my camera so am have taken copies of the ones you all took. Just to echo the thoughts of the others here who met up. I believe we all had a really great day out and a memorable "meet" .

and several beers were had ......................

Yep, I did. I'll post tomorrow!
Did you hear their "first person stories" as they call them? great stuff!
Funny thing that they remarked upon is that in the States the public are asking the reenactors about their stories all the time, while over here in Europe nobody asks a thing. Probably because the public over here hasn't got a clue that there is a story to be told by them.

Thanks. It's an original size 42 David D Doniger, having its first outing to Duxford.

Here's a close up of the label kindly taken by Carlo.

Andrew,

Just amazing how it looks after 65-68 years. Looks like a brandnew tag. GREAT!!

Wow, you know, I was wondering about how to get rid of the F15 on the background, you did it!
Great!

Aye aye sir!

Little Patches (four out of ten), Home James and Miss Minookie on a row:

And, while I'm at it, typical crowding at Eastmans Stall, eh, excuse me, "The Quartermaster Depot":

Some Hangar Flying, VLJ style:

While at the same time this was going on in the air over Duxford: seven Spits in the air, beating up the airfield:

Anyone planning on going to the next Duxford airshow on 5th and 6th September? I am planning on going on the saturday without family this time. If you are perhaps we can meet outside the ELC shop at 12.30? There is good line up of aircraft.
