Maybe he wasn't looking at something else?

I'm sure Ben is a pleasantly humourous chap but did not know he was a full on comedian!

You do overhear some classic things from people at Duxford (and indeed anywhere). When I hear a spit called a hurricane etc etc I do try to refrain from taking the mick in my head.
Reason being, there are plenty of things I am no expert about other than aviation, and I would not like others to laugh at me, so although you do hear gems on the flightline walk, I try to keep away from judging !!

I must admit tho' I do get a warm glow if anyone asks me what something is they weren't sure about...

Were Duxford expecting the world's press to turn up??? The size of the press enclosure at the M11 end was ridiculous! I think on the Sunday there was a maximum 4-5 people in it crazy.
