Duxford Air Show 7th Battle of Britain

John Beattie looks like he has fallen asleep.

What’s happened to Charlie Brown, seems as if not been around for a while ?

I also don’t get the title of the thread, I’m missing something

Excellent!
I’m no good at remembering faces and names, but still…
They deserve to be known!

Hopefully I’ve got these all correct?
The ones missing either I just cannot recognise them or I don’t know.

Before moving on to Senior Balbo and the two finales let’s pay tribute to some of the very important people who make all this possible, the pilots. These are only the ones that came my way.

I know none of their names and there may well be duplicates but probably on different mounts, names and any corrections welcome.

I’ll try and help here.

Brian Smith

Cliff Spink

Below we see an excellent example of the correct use of the Tautness Meter.

Thank you guys for a brilliant display.

Excellent Paul and perhaps even a first. I have never seen a similar set.:) Iam sure someone will provide names although there are a few familiar faces the other side of the shades!

Very sad to hear that the motorcyclist involved in the M11 incident on Saturday has died. He was Mr. Dan Curran and was only 21. I am sure all our thoughts are with his family and friends at this tragic time.

Thanks for the replies guys.

Willy Hacket was flying on Saturday, Matt Jones on Sunday (Matt pictured)

The pilot of RR232

Thanks Mark12 I thought it was a strange question as the serial was partly visible.

First shot is AR213 painted as ‘P7308’.

I meant to say that if anybody can see a mistake I am very pleased to have it corrected.

Sopwith: The first shot is of P7308.

I took photos of many pilots and will post shortly. I do not know there names nor did I relate them to specific aircraft but the sequence of shots may help, I will take a look.

Who was flying RR232?, and is your first picture AR213? Thanks

Now the Spitfires.
This section was called Target London?

Taking part 17 Spitfires and, well, no Hurricanes!

So let’s count them all out, well actually, while out and back again as well. Some of the pictures are not of the quality I would normally post, especially of TD248, but for the sake of completeness all are included.

I never ignore knockers. 😀
