Duxford Bimble ~ 18Dec14

Post by Pen Pusher »

Very quiet around Duxford today with probably my penultimate visit of the year. In hangar 5 the F-15 and P-51 have swopped around parking spots as the F-15 is now in the spray bay being readied to be painted. In hangar 3 the Classic Wings Harvard's are tucked up for the winter holiday period. In hangar 2 and the P-40C underwent an undercarriage retraction sequence and since my last visit the Gladiator is now sitting with its tail jacked up in the air.
