Duxford Battle of Britain Sunday 2022

Post by capercaillie »

A few from an enjoyable albeit slightly frustrating weather day with an even bigger world event taking place.

The Hind was ready to take off for its solo in sunlit conditions but was holding for the two Staggerwings to get airborne first, they waited and waited until the sun went behind the biggest blackest cloud you could find, displayed, landed and just as they shut down the engines out came the sun again. Couldn't make it up!

Similar thing with the Hind on Friday. This hobby sucks.

A fine set all round though.

I like the addition of a rotorhead to the Rapide. Should be impressive on take-off. Great set though.
