Just had the Fury and Sea fury do a couple of passes over Bar Hill (North of Duxford). If I wasn't already excited for tomorrow I am now!

So I gather P9374 wont be at legends as advertised after her sale. I did hold some hope but assembly in a day then flight check with no evidence of her at Dx today I guess she wont be there.

The Sea Fury pairs routine is rather nice too. Bf109 properly rattled the tank bank on takeoff! Super stuff. Looking forward to tomorrow now!

It was on a low loader just north of Stansted this evening on the M11 so hopefully the engineers have enough Air fix glue to stick it back together in time!

Duxford on normal days is 122.075, don't think it will be different today and I had that saved on my radio from a previous show. Hope that's correct

122.075 is Duxford Information (i.e their normal tower frequency)

Display is likely to be 121.4
