Have to say I've never visited Wellesbourne properly as such. Where's the best place to find museum opening times and when the Vulcan is running?

Re: Spitfire & Other Plane Over Capel-le-Ferne

Going up for another Birthday flight dj..? Wish i was..! No, I'm not that lucky! I just know that the weekend I flew on was a great success so they were looking to get another one in before the weather turns. It's a great set-up they've got at Aerolegends, well worth looking into for a really speci...

Re: Another Spitfire TD314 / Aero Legends Customer

I just saw your pictures. They look great. Just was surprised by the note saying that 'Action Stations' went bust. Is this really true???? I flew with them a couple of times and it was always very good, so this is a bit of a shock to me. Their website is still live, which is odd. But yes all the ex...

Another Spitfire TD314 / Aero Legends Customer

Looks like there were a few of us who post on here at Headcorn on Saturday. This flight was a 40th Birthday present for me back in June, originally booked with Go Action Stations who went bust, so I'm really glad we managed to get the flight re-booked with Aero Legends (who were brilliant throughout...

That was me! I had a trip in the Dove with Aero Legends from Headcorn (40th Birthday present). A superb experience.

Duxford BoB Show Sunday

Hope this is ok amongst all the serious photographers on here, but I'm a seriously proud dad after going through the photos my son took on Sunday at Duxford. He's 6, and these aren't edited or cropped, just exactly what he shot. http://s5.postimg.org/gxkg6mrpz/IMG_1718.jpg http://s5.postimg.org/oetn...

Re: Duxford September Show 2015

Superb show. The mass Spitfire display was just wonderful. Now taking it easy having a picnic while the traffic clears. Wonderful day all round, got here about 8:20, had a chance to have a look around the museum and flight line walk and still get a good spot in front of the American hanger for the d...

Response from the IWM Facebook page: Hi there, thanks for getting in touch. IWM works alongside Cambridgeshire police and the landowners to advise people not to watch the flying display from the fields around IWM Duxford as it is not safe for them or air show participants.

Re: Duxford September Show 2015

Quite pleased we're going tomorrow so we'll know what the score is, and what effect any of this will have on the show we've paid to see. There was an e-mail or letter recently mentioning that the fields were out of bounds, but I didn't really pay much attention to it as we'll be inside.

Re: Duxford September Show 2015

I've searched on the IWM website but can't find details of the flight line walk.

Anyone know roughly how much it is, and I assume you can just pay on the day and queue up for it?

Thanks.

Re: Battle of Britain Day Commemoration at Goodwood

Grrr, can't stream the other live feed from here now the BBC has moved onto something else.

Looking forward to the Channel 4 show tonight, hopefully their footage is better than the Beeb guy aimlessly panning around the sky.

BBC saying:

The BBC's Robert Hall is at the aerodrome and says one of four two-seater Spitfires due to take part has become unserviceable - prompting Prince Harry to pull out to allow others to fly instead.

Re: Duxford September Show 2015

This will be our first time to Duxford (me and my 7 year old son).

Is it right that you'd still need to pay the museum charge if we wanted to look around there in the morning before the flying display?
