Re: Duxford Battle of Britain Airshow 2018
It was just the JP and the two Vampires in formation. The Mig flew later on with a pair of Mustangs.

Did the Shuttleworth/BAE aircraft arrive?
Re: Duxford Battle of Britain Airshow 2018
As of 6pm when I left the Hangar 11 Spitfire and the Shuttleworth aircraft hadn't arrived. I'm guessing the same as Brian, they will hopefully arrive tomorrow.

Re: Duxford Battle of Britain Airshow 2018

According to a post by Shuttleworth on Facebook, it's in fact the Se.5 that's broken, and not the Lysander. We've also gained another Magister.
Re: Duxford Battle of Britain Airshow 2018
Light patchy rain/showers forecast for this afternoon, shouldn’t cause to many issues.
Re: Duxford Battle of Britain Airshow 2018
Anyone know the flying times?
Near Duxford, traffic is a shambles. Got a bad feeling that i’m not going to enjoy today as its going to be disgustingly busy.
Edit. Gridlock, nothing moving at all. Got up early to do the flightline walk. If i miss that i will be extremely unimpressed.

Re: Duxford Battle of Britain Airshow 2018
The shuttle bus queue is a disgrace- got here at 8.45 and moved about 20 yards.
If you haven’t joined the queue yet, I’d advise you to walk

Agreed. Got on the bus at 8:40 soon as we hit the M11 moved about 10 feet. This is chaos. Worst i’ve ever seen it at an airshow since Manston 2013.
Re: Duxford Battle of Britain Airshow 2018
The queue to get in. God.

No, it's really not. Not so funny now is it
Hangar 11 Spit on the ground.
Re: Duxford Battle of Britain Airshow 2018
Steady rain now but can also see the sun! Pilots report good visibility just hope wind doesn't get up.

Re: Duxford Battle of Britain Airshow 2018
Thanks for the confirmation. Was hoping to catch up with PT before he left today but the hangar was closed up so I thought it was likely I'd already missed him. Try again next weekend...
