Where did the Swordfish land in the end?
Old Warden, via Duxford apparently. Wasp stopped at Duxford for fuel as I don't suppose there is much call to stock jet fuel at Old Warden.

and if you end up on the wrong side of the road and miss the underpasses are the main challenges.
I don't remember there being any underpasses. It's a foot path above ground all the way or have I missed something?.

I parked down Royston Road, just of the A505 heading towards Whittlesford, last year for the BoB as my dad needed to get home and didn't want to risk getting stuck in the car park for hours. Too...

Re: Public transport to DX - normal days

There used to be a dedicated bus service that shuttled back and forth between DX and Cambridge Station all day long. It had a large billboard of MH434 on the side. Long gone, no doubt. Was that not just for Airshow days though? Not normal days. They offer shuttlebus from Cambridge station to IWM on...

You dont say if your local or visiting from further afield but I assume Duxford will be open as usual.
Duxford is open but hangars are mainly empty as most of Duxford's war birds are at Church Fenton.
