Duxford VE Day Flying Day

Although I was last at Duxford a couple of months ago not a lot was happening and as today was effectively the start of the flying season it was a good excuse for a return visit. The event was a VE Day Flying Display although much of the content had little to do with VE Day as such but it was good to see some flying action and the weather co-operated as well which made it a pleasant day out.

I'll start with some hangar images from the resident flying and non-flying aircraft. Not too much to report here. The Avenger has gone since my March visit but nothing new is in its place as yet. The Conservation Hangar was actually open this time and the current major project is the Shackleton. The hangar as been rearranged so you can walk around the whole aircraft. The Salamander and Pucara are also being worked on and the Valiant and Victor nose sections acquired fairly recently are also in this hangar.
