Really annoyed and frustrated when the news broke that seven Dakotas from Duxford would be re-positioning to Shuttleworth for the Flying Festival airshow, as I had prior arrangements in London town and couldn't make the event itself. Fortunately, it soon became clear that the septet were due to arrive on Saturday afternoon, so I didn't have to miss out after all! Happy days.
And a handful from a much smaller scale D-Day event held at North Weald. Sadly the weather wasn't playing ball, but it was interesting chatting to the AeroLegends guys regardless.

Re: Daks over Shuttleworth
What beautiful scenes, expertly captured. Lovely stuff
This is the one location and/or event that seems to have done justice to aircraft that have come an awful long way to be over here.

Re: Daks over Shuttleworth
Thanks chaps. This was the only 'event' that I could really make for the Dakotas, and as it turns out I think it looked like probably the best part of the lot..? Monday was a possible, but that was wiped out when I didn't get home from the gig in London until 3:30am on Sunday night/Monday morning.
As it turns out, I don't look at anything else that occurred over the week or so and feel like I missed out on too much - seven Dakotas at Shuttleworth is better than 20 at Duxford IMO, so I'm happy.
The only slight irritation with OW was the late arrival of a Chipmunk just ahead of the Dakotas, inevitably parking right in the middle of my line-of-sight for touchdown shots. Grrr.

Fantastic shots, I fully agree with OW being the best the best location for shots, I was there on the Sunday & its was great for photos as we all know OW is. I was never sure on Duxford due to the fact it being tricky inside for photography due to the light, so I was very pleased when the annouced that some of the American Dak's were to attend this...
