That TF-51 does indeed look great!

Does anyone have any links to photos of the Spit, D-FEUR? I cannot find any?

Looking forward to seeing this Corsair fly. It will be nice to see a "bent wing bird" grace the skies over Duxford once again. Would be nice to see it in formation with TFC Corsair. One day maybe...

Some great arrivals today. Good to see the mk VIII is still returning, I love that Spit, and I also can't wait to see the French Corsair, and new the livery on the Skyraider. This year is sounding like a top Legends show, and we don't even know the full participants yet. :clap: :rock: :cool:
Can't wait for tommorow now :yahoo: :biggrin:

Looks like a great lineup,

Dissapointed that there are no B25's that are going to appear also no A26 Invader is a shame wonder why they had to pull out is it since the scandinavian historic flight was put up for sale ? but a good lineup none the less hope the Lancaster doesnt go Unservicable i am going Sunday due to
hotel availability whats the forecast currently for Sunday ? any info would be appreciated

Best Regards :smile:

I'm goin on the sunday, and the weather on the bbc wether forecast website says that sunday should be sunny and cloudy, at 26 degrees with a 6 knot north easterly wind. As for the B-25's, talking to my cousin, he says that there have been changes in EU legislation which states that the B-25 is know in the same class as a Boeing 737. This means that they have had to redo loads of paperwork, and they wont/havent got it done in time for legends.

Hope that helps :smile:

I thought that the EU legislation (which i thought related to public liability insurance) change occurred some years ago?

I guess you could say that the 8 together, the Seafire (dubious I know!), and the BBMF Spitfire make 10 :confused:

Or were there supposed to be 10 together?
