First of the Legends 1993

Post by PJ1 »

When a neighbour knocked on the door and asked if I wanted to go to an airshow at Duxford with him "not sure what to expect...theres no jets", I said ok. Taking my Minolta camera with a single role of 36 shot film I went with no expectations. What I got was new types of warbird I had never seen before, and in numbers that I wouldn't have expected. Was allowed out onto the taxi way to see the parked aircraft for the first time, which seemed a privilege and special at the time and I was hooked. little did I know that 26 years later I would still be making the pilgrimage to Duxford every year for the show.

This is all that I have of that show, scanned from photos

Sorry about the quality. As I said they were scanned from photos

Great stuff - thanks for sharing!

My first Legends was 2002, so I'd be thrilled to see photos from any of the '90s shows.

Thanks for that. I enjoy looking at the history of the various operators and the aeroplanes that have come and gone or are still around all these years later...

Excellent post, something about scanned prints as opposed to digital photos that seem appropriate to Duxford warbirds.

Thanks for sharing.

Below is a link to a post I put up a few years ago, may be of some interest to DaveBr
