Re: Duxford Autumn Air Show
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)

Re: Duxford Autumn Air Show
Great news re. F-86!
Still looking good for some nice bright skies for her to dance around in, too...

Re: Duxford Autumn Air Show
Hopefully good news on the Sabre...finger crossed!
Re: Duxford Autumn Air Show
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.

Re: Duxford Autumn Air Show
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!

Re: Duxford Autumn Air Show
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

Re: Duxford Autumn Air Show
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

Re: Duxford Autumn Air Show
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...

Re: Duxford Autumn Air Show
2 x RAF Hawks due this afternoon as well . they leave on monday morning again.
what we have here is a complete lack of respect for the law !
Re: Duxford Autumn Air Show
F16 just displayed. Looked a good display
Re: Duxford Autumn Air Show
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
