Flying Legends 2012

Didn't he only take the P40F out for a test flight?

The horsemen aren't coming over this year, and there won't be three Goodyear Corsairs, can't see there being three Corsairs of any description. Not even convinced that the shiny P-40C will turn up.

I know they not going to be there but TBH I'm not so keen on the Horseman I liked OFMC display at RIAT then seeing the Horseman display anyway I just going by what the IWM has up saying that there going to be three Goodyear Corsair this year. Hmm its a P-40C thats on the list fingers cross

The weather is looking promising for next week with it being clear and Sunny all of next week!

[Dragon Rapide]

If you look at the forecast pressure charts, not that any prediction can be relied on more than 4/5 days ahead, you will see a ridge of HP offering a good day on Saturday with a deep LP moving in Saturday night making for a very wet Sunday. But the situation will change daily so keep an eye on it.

[someguy1]

Right tickets bought for saturday, weather looks better (fingers crossed) and the Euro final is on Sunday and don't want to miss that!

[markstringer]

I think it's pushing it for the P40 c now, but we can hope!

Still no news on the hawker fury, which is also a shame.

I'll believe this P-40 when I see it. It went around on Key that it was TFC's however nothing else has been heard or confirmed. As gorgeous as it is, I doubt it will happen chaps. Love to be proved wrong of course!

Do we know who the 3rd sea fury belongs too? Of course the other two are TFC T20 & RNHF T20 or FB.11 also what cat is know as miss pick up?



Cheers
James

[Kieran]

'Miss Pick Up' is Plane Sailing's Catalina.

The third Sea Fury will more than likely be Christophe Jacquard's FB11.

[wv383]

'Miss Pickup' is the Plane Sailing Duxford based Catalina. It now carries nose art of that name.

[markstringer]

I wonder what's happened to the akary sea fury? Love the way it's flown.

Likely to have between 15-20 added to that list I would imagine. One of them likely to be the Norwegian dc3, which I notice had some new artwork at the airshow last weekend. Again another aircraft displayed beautifully.

So will it be container Friday tommorrow?????

[JBartlett]

Oh she got some nose art now nice thanks for info Kieran & Simon.

Yeah that one or the one with smoke pods under its wing.

Cheers

yer i know but i added a little something extra which didn't get picked up and i think there are more spitfires to be added anyway
i did think about hunting for the 2008 list and posting that earlier but thought that would be pushing the boat out to far and would be in for more ridicule and humiliation. Iam going to scan some older images i got from DX of the Blenheim in Black paint and daylight camouflage flying with a couple of Lysanders if anyone's interested.

[Pen Pusher]

The Dutch Catalina was originally down as a visitor on Sunday and not part of the air show and will therefore probably be parked out of the way on the south side.

Posting previous years lists have no bearing on what will attend and a pointless exercise.

Brian

[jimbob1194]

It keeps him happy! This must be the 129069503884th wish-list including the previous Legends threads!

[Corsair]

What about an TBM Avenger??

I have not seen one in ages.

[eirik]

The weather forecast is just getting better and better.

I almost can't wait to get to Duxford

Will be there from Friday to Monday.
