BBMF 50th anniversary - Duxford 5th May 2007

Post by stuart n »

A few from a typically cloudy day at Duxford. Only my third outing with a DSLR so some funky settings were selected on the 30D :flushed:

Highlight of the day was seeing all of the fighters on strength at the time in formation with the Lancaster. The fighters then broke away and performed a few flypasts.

MK356 at the time was in her authentic 443 Squadron markings, she flew all 60 of her combat sorties with the unit including D-Day.

Good selection. I do like PZ865 in those colours.

Thanks for sharing. I somehow managed to miss this show. Probably out with 34081.

Great pics, the Kuttelwascher and Bird-Wilson schemes are probably my all-time favourite schemes on the two BBMF Hurri's. Loved AB910 in the 303sqn colours too, very nice.
