A Cold Wet Morning at Duxford – 15Jan10

The first thing I spied as the bus drove down from the roundabout, was the big shipping container sitting outside The Fighter Collection hangar. Many thanks to the TFC engineers for the opportunity of a last photo of ‘Brooklyn Bum’ and for the wander around their fleet.

With the FW190 having departed on the Tuesday, ARCo have had a bit of a shuffle with their fleet. The Tom Blair Mk IX Spitfire that was with the 190 has now moved from hangar 3 to 4 and in its place is the Tr9 and Mk XVI Spitfires. The only other notable change is the Vicount that is now parked in the DAS airliner row.

May be cold and may be wet but those photos are “wetting” my appetite for a planned first visit to Duxford for my grandson at half-term. And I have not been for ages so am looking forward to seeing it almost as a fresh experience.:D
