The Duxford Air Show - 08/09Sep12

[Kieran]

The BoB Buchon with JR in it and the Mk.1A Spitfire with 'Rats' piloting it were practicing an airfield attack routine today. The Buchon doing a few strafing runs with the Spit coming in later and after a bit of a tail chase, chasing it off. Hopefully for the show.

That or/and for the Eastbourne show next weekend!

What T-33 is attending??

[Pen Pusher]

Been mentioned on the Key forum, it would probably be the Norwegian one which would be attending the Norwegian event thing at North Weald on the Sunday, if that makes sence.

I think you are correct. That T-33(CT-133) is the only flying norwegian bird.
Owned by norwegian F-16 pilot "Tintin".

This shot was taken of it in at Sola Airshow June:


The owner is planning to repaint it in RNoAF colours and markings.

It looks like apart from the BBMF Dakota we also have 'Drag Em Oot which be nice to see again. Also nice to see the Dutch Mk IX spitfire will be there. Also is that AN-2 displaying or is that on static as well.

Take it the 2 F-16s are going North Weald.

[kalachnik]

Is there a saving on entry fee, if you are a "Friend of Duxford"?

Because I cannot see where you get any discount for being a member, when looking at the booking page

any ideas?

I think Friends get reduced entry to the shows (well I did when i went to the jubilee show)

[LN Strike Eagle]

Somewhere in the region of a 20% discount I seem to recall reading on here once before?

[Pen Pusher]

For some reason the IWM have missed FOD off the list for all the air shows but the usual discount should still apply.

Brian

[kalachnik]

Ok, I guess I will have to speak to them on the day, to obtain the discount.

Cheers.

[Pen Pusher]

The advance booking is done by and for I.W.M. and F.o.D. is a separate organisation who would have to do the advanced booking bit themselves separate from the I.W.M.

Brian

[Pen Pusher]

Ok, I guess I will have to speak to them on the day, to obtain the discount.

Cheers.

Don't have to speak to them, just show your F.o.D. membership card.

I see, cheers.

[davew55]

If you look on the reverse of your FoD membership card it tells you the discounts available on airshow tickets and shop purchases, 20%.
