So, back to Duxford today for their Battle of Britain Air Show, possibly my last show this year but another meet up with Gaz which is always a bonus.
A mixed bag weather wise, starting off a bit gloomy, brightening up with an odd light shower and then a heavy cloud burst at the end part way through the massed Spitfire and Hurricane flypast finale. Also a few aircraft that didn't show including the Navy Wings Swordfish, Seafire, a Beech 18 a couple of Mustangs and the BBMF Spitfire and Hurricane which was due to the RAF honoring the sad passing of the Queen this week.
However, overall it was a good show with some nice flying displays especially the Czech Mil helicopters which was a first for Duxford, a pair of Lysanders flying with the Blenheim for the first time in years and a pair of Staggerwings together. However, I will start with some shots on the flight line.

Really jealous when I saw the four Hurricane- 16 Spit formation on social media. Thought to myself “I bet Peter saw that”. Don’t think I’ve ever seen that Mustang at DX. Love the Staggerwing- such a pretty AC. I’m liking that Yak too. Great pics as always Sir. Thanks for sharing. Marcus
ReplyDeleteHi Peter.
ReplyDeleteThe Lysanders on the grass is a 'belter' of a shot and well 'clicked'.
