Duxford Flying Proms 2006

A few shots from Saturday evenings superb Flying Proms, the weather gods tried their utmost to wreck this years Proms but miraculously the heavy showers abated right on cue. This excellent and well attended event ran right through to the end of the firework finale before the heavens opened and drenched everyone as they were trying to gather up their belongings.

Special mention should be given to Mark Jefferies who was outstanding in the Elite Twister and the Crew of the Catalina who put on a stunning display. The finale of the Flying programme saw Charlie Brown in the HAC Spit V display to Ron Goodwins Battle of Britain Film theme and William Waltons Spitfire Prelude and fugue. 🙂

JACKEROO

It is a Thruxton Jackeroo, not a DH Jackeroo. However, the Roo’s are shown by the CAA on G-INFO as “Thruxton Jackeroo (DH82A modified)”.

Thanks everyone,

These Flying Prom events are great fun, well worth the ticket price, but do take your own picnic as the food and drink prices are a little extreme. 😮

Cracking shots Gary. Judging by the last shot of HAC’s Hurricane the air was a bit damp!
