Re: Duxford Diary 2022
Nice shots in tricky conditions. Would have preferred a standard camo cab for the Hind, but it's a better scheme than the 'Alien Tiger' at least.
Any word on rehearsals for tomorrow?

Re: Duxford Diary 2022
Don't know about timings or anything but the Hind/Hip are down as flying as a pair early in the display programme and the Hind as a solo item later in the afternoon.

Re: Duxford Diary 2022
I saw that actually. Great stuff. Hopefully they’ll fly a PD later today when there’s a chance of sunshine between the showers.

Re: Duxford Diary 2022
Sadly no light for the helicopters yesterday, so these are the best I can salvage.

Some images I managed to take whilst working the "Duxford In A Different Light : Battle Of Britain Photography Evening"...

Thanks for posting, I like the Hurricane trio.
Re: Duxford Diary 2022
Not getting any of the ~80 photographers in the shot was a miracle!!

Duxford Wednesday 21st September:
TFC's Spitfire V EP120 is back from a weekend at Goodwood and has already reverted to the clipped wing configuration. She also is now wearing a Royal Cipher, in common with other aircraft and vehicles at the Goodwood Revival.
Many thanks to MC.
Lysander V9312 was airborne, providing another unique backwards Flight Experience:

Glad to hear EP120 is back to its clipped wing configuration.

Re: Duxford Diary 2022
Do we know what the long term plans are for the aircraft? I can't imagine the Conservation Area will be its future home or left outside (which would make it the only IWM aircraft not undercover).
Thanks for the pics DCW

Re: Duxford Diary 2022
I believe it has been said a few times that it will stay in the Conservation Area of Airspace until there is a reshuffle of the main Airspace hall.SuffolkBlue wrote: ↑Mon 26 Sep 2022, 2:34 pmDo we know what the long term plans are for the aircraft?

(But then again, words to that effect were said when the BAe Typhoon arrived )

Grumman FM-2 Wildcat G-KINL noted out compass swinging this afternoon at Duxford. First flight cannot be far away.

Great work on the Victor - oddly not mentioned that the resto was started after a petition from the public
