Hadn't been on here for a while like yourself i guess, but just found the reason why. Noticed that a lot of the recent posts & threads were from 2020.

Re: Duxford Diary 2021 (2)
Losing such a large chunk of forum posts is a real shame, but as long as everyone continues to post, respond and engage we will soon be back to normal. The great photos in the Duxford Diary threads certainly keep me coming back here. Thanks!

Interesting setup! Is that a camera rig below the helicopter?
Re: Duxford Diary 2021 (2)
I've just heard on a film podcast that Mission: Impossible 7 appears to include a scene where Tom Cruise's character goes for a walk on a yellow biplane so my questions about the recent activities involved Stearmans (Stearmen?) are now answered!
What a very cool colour scheme!

Duxford Sunday 19th December:
Very foggy today, but still some activity on the ground:
The first exhibit for the 'Evolution of an Icon' display was moved into Airspace this morning. Ironically. it was the latest mark of Spitfire to be featured, TFC's F.22 PK624 (in store at Duxford since 1994). The exhibition opens Monday 27th December (Lockdown permitting)

Re: Duxford Diary 2021 (2)
Thanks, that neatly answers the 'what is that helicopter doing on those shipping containers' question! I thought it was a camera rig...

Re: Duxford Diary 2021 (2)
Thankyou very much for an early Christmas present. Those Spitfire pictures are stunning. Well done!
Re: Duxford Diary 2021 (2)
Looking forward to checking the Spit's out over the Christmas holidays hopefully!
