Duxford Autumn Air Show

[MrAngry2]

Vampire T11 is done for the season now so doubt that would happen, Be really nice to see some of AA's Classic jets out and about though (hint,hint)

[Finningley Boy]

Oh so wish Foxy was coming. I believe she was last at Duxford for the Autumn 2001 show.

Does anyone know what's happening with Matt Whitfield by the way? Last heard he was doing ok

FB

Heard from him yesterday and he seemed in good form.

Good to here!

Just about to post the same thing

Great news re. F-86!

Still looking good for some nice bright skies for her to dance around in, too...

[NeilH68]

Hopefully good news on the Sabre...finger crossed!

[EMarsh]

Glad to hear the Sabre has risen again like a phoenix from the ashes. A TF51/F86/F16 heritage flight would give the show the shot in the arm that it needs (IMO, of course).

'Trumper' on Key has a photograph of the Grace Spitfire & HAC's Hurricane XII formating on a civvie twin job - must be a photo shoot to promote Sunday's ATA duo.

Sabre back on!?!

Edit: Seen Sea Hawk news.....Poo

Agree with the vid on that one!

[Thumper]

Wow I just went through every emotion in 15 seconds

Gutted about the Sea Hawk, damn I really really wanted to see that

As for the Sabre.... maybe someone read my comments on here If so... THANK YOU I AM VERY HAPPY!!

I have been given a horrible really long day at work tomorrow (looking at 400 miles all day on the bike) so I am REALLY looking forward to Duxford now!

Drive safely then lass

[Thumper]

Will do Ace, quite relaxed time scales tomorrow so hoping the A1 and the M1 are behaving Then it's down to Harrow in the evening to collect my mate with the navigational skills of a goldfish, back up to MK and over to Duxford Saturday lunchtime. Can someone please wake me up if I start falling asleep on Sunday

[Lomcevak26]

Grrrr, pants! BBC/Met Office now showing light rain for Sunday. Still, better than heavy rain... /

Looking forward to it nonetheless...

[Pen Pusher]

There is supposed to be a rain front passing through from Saturday night into Sunday. May be wet first thing Sunday but supposed to be clear of rain for the rest of the day.

But then again, since when have they been right

[EMarsh]

A tradition has developed at Duxford shows of late, whereby the show day must dawn cloudy, rainy and generally cold, getting progressively worse until all hope of flying has faded, before making a spectacular comeback - usually levelling out at something half-decent.

I have faith that it may start looking abysmal, but come 1pm, we'll be basking in gorgeous sunshine. I promise...

- usually levelling out at something half-decent....

..but saving the best light of the day 'til just as the flying finishes.

[tankbuster81]

Not a very good line up ,and the forecast now dwindling. to go or not to go?????

[Pen Pusher]

Posted on the Key Forum, the F-16 pair have flown over Duxford.

That's the spirit, chap!

[Pen Pusher]

Posted over on the Key Forum, F-16 practice this afternoon (Friday) no time, so quietish at Duxford tomorrow

[jaguarfarewellday]

2 x RAF Hawks due this afternoon as well . they leave on monday morning again.

[Dragster]

F16 just displayed. Looked a good display

[Thumper]

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Well I am home safe-ish. Have a rather large case of hypothermia going on so it's out with every single windproof, waterproof and thermal lined item of clothing for the weekend as today was hellish!!

Shame the F-16 practised early and the Hawks so may just have a lie in to recover from today before heading over there tomorrow.

As for the weather; RIAT on Sunday, WAC at Silverstone and American Air Day at Dux... I know Turweston was a freak of nature and I never expect that to ever happen again! Look on the bright side, at least the Cat has no excuse to not turn up

So is it based at Mildenhall?
