I’ve just read the Duxford showcase on the 19th is being shared with Stow Maries but I can’t find any announcement on social media, just their website. Has this been arranged quite quickly? I just don’t understand why they're not pushing this a little more.

Fantastic. Look forward to seeing it in London.

Glad to see the aircraft staying in the UK. Easily the best looking Hurricane around, in my opinion even with the two seat conversion.

Does seem like the IWM have listened to last years criticism of the participation list. Shaping up well.

One of my favourite aircraft. Be watching this one with interest.

Beautiful Mustang. Particularly like the shot of it taxing.

That 1996 lineup is quite astonishing. Cannot quite believe the amount of aircraft I took for granted, as relatively common to see, in the 90's.

Nine Mustang's as well.

It is a shame to see another airshow disappear.

It is a great thread over on Key, hope it's just as successful here.

Do wish they would have been a little more exotic with the airshow themes and titles. It's broadly very similar to this year.

hi all I've not been to this one before and couldn't find much info other than here but out intrest is there a showground ie traders or a museum?? etc or just the static line up ??? I attended last year however this year does appear to be a bigger event. Last year there weren't any traders you'd se...

That Anson.

Havent been since the new display line changes, used to love this airshow as it had a "closer than normal" feeling. Sad that it seems things have changed so much.

The ground and takeoff shots are particularly nice.

My god I miss this aeroplane.

It's not quite the lone up from last year, the Red Bull aircraft being elsewhere is sorely felt, but it does still have some highlights. It's a shame about Berlin Express and the Hun Hunter however you never know what's going on behind closed doors. Would have loved to have seen them both again. Fi...

This is the first Shuttleworth line up this year I'm not that impressed by. Just not much on it to look forward to personally.

A thoroughly enjoyable day. Is it just me or were there fewer topside passes than we've come to expect at Old Warden? One disappointment was choosing to interview the BoB veteran whilst the flying was on. He should have been given a slot all of his own so we could hear all what he had to say. Drivi...

Is this also the most Avro 504's at one time? Three have been at Shuttleworth but not flown together. The Flying Legends Facebook page seems pretty adamant that the DH-9 will make it's debut at Flying Legends. (They even replied in capital letters that it's debut will be at Flying Legends) Unsure w...

Just looking back at the 2010 programme... 55 aircraft that year including 30 different types from all over Europe including the I-16, seven P-51s, three Skyraiders, an A26 etc etc. ...there does seem to be some kind of problem getting anything overseas authorised. With no transparency we're left t...

I had no skin in this game, but it does appear to me that there is a distinct whiff that HAC and IWM view enthusiasts just as cash cows, and are in fact anxious to deny them opportunities (by denying information) if they are not going to get to lighten the enthusiasts' wallets considerably. A goodw...

As with the Daks meet, it's interesting when IWM partner with another party for an airshow and I'm always curious re the business relationship/model. Perhaps IWM perceived that there just was not enough cash on offer to make it worth their while to promote properly? Again, with time to plan, the ex...

Yeah, done it several times. Just make sure your phones on full brightness when they scan it, or itll take forever.

Indeed it did, all paratroopering aircraft performed a flypast before departing to France. I think the discussion is whether or not a mass flypast of all the DC-3/ C-47 variants was something advertised or alluded to at Duxford itself. I certainly didnt think it was.

What’s happened with the event over in France, then? Long story Have a look on the Daks over Normandy Facebook page and look through their posts over the last week and read the comments. and this FB group has numerous interesting comments including discussions re the NoTAMs for Duxford parachute dr...

So now the dust has settled on all the excellent commemorations of the past week, are we really the only country that didn’t stripe an active aircraft? I’m hoping I’m wrong and there was one and I’ve just missed it among all the other goings on..... Nope, we did absolutely nothing... Just a lacklus...
