I don't get the obsession with that Kempsford one
Never stayed myself but surely the big attraction is you are almost on site so even on days you don't have an entrance ticket you've got nearly as good a view as those inside. Plus on days you do go inside it's a 30 second stroll to the gate.

As the passengers ability to follow a simple instruction proved -i.e. Don't stop ...

Re: Festival of Flight - 29th & 30th June 2024

Interesting that they're waiting for their third show of the season for this appearance - do Duxford get "first dibs" on its first show appearance (I can only assume that it will have appeared at one of the two Duxford events before this show at Shuttleworth)? Have Duxford confirmed it wi...

There are some great models there (I like the Fiat G91 best of the aircraft) but that last one of the modeller in his den is off the chart!
It's a great model, but I fear it's not that accurate, I mean where's the huge pile of ubuilt kits?🤣
