Re: Flying Legends to cease at Duxford

Re: Duxford Showcase Days 2020
Had displays from a Mustang, Dragon Rapide and Harvard. Yak 50 and Cosmic Wind taxied up and down, but couldn't fly due to a big shower passing through. Rest of the day's flying is cancelled. Catalina sounded a bit miffed when he heard rest of day had been scrubbed. Words to the effect off ‘oh, Cat...

Re: Duxford Showcase Days 2020
Excuse ignorance but I was thinking about getting tix for this but the entry time issue is confusing me. There is no info about this on the website.

Re: Boris Force One?
The aircraft is in for its scheduled maintenance overhaul which will require a complete strip and repaint, the cost is a total of £900,000 all in, it has already been budgeted for and is inline with planned works. All the BS about just the paint being £900,000 is just the press making the weak of m...

If the Catalina cancels you know it’s REALLY wet

Re: Duxford Battle of Britain Airshow 2019
Morning Gents. Has anyone got any experience of the Park and Ride, to get to the show. Is it really an alternative if you don't mind taking all your stuff around with you. I'd be coming from the A11/A14 direction, so was wondering which would be the best, Trumpington or the newly released Babraham....

Might as well close DX now. I do wonder sometimes the mentality of these planning idiots.
Bit like when they put a planning application for motorway services just across the road!
What’s the betting it gets approved?

Some awesome journalism in the Royston Crow: "The show will include displays from an array of original Second World War aircraft, including P-51 Mustangs and P-47 Thunderbolts, and will culminate in a mass flypast of 19 Spitfires, including a Mk XVIII Spitfire. Four Buchon fighter jets with Lu...
