Duxford Bimble No2 – 27 Jan 08

The sun was shining, it wasn’t to cold and as my motorbike has not had a good thrashing since last year, I headed off down the A14/M11 and spent a couple of hours at Duxford this morning. Nothing special, apart from TA805 of course

I have no idea what the flowers are for.

Nice, thanks for sharing Brian.

The second picture of TA805 catch’s the mood well.

Is that the Hurricane that was on the gate?

Nice pics, the flowers next to the B-24 look very poignant, I wonder what the story is behind those.
Incidentally, if you look very closely at the fuselage of this a/c, you can make out years of messages carved on the sides, I’m not condoning that sort of thing but some of them date back to the 1940’s and are as unique as the airframe itself. How long was it displayed at it’s previous home across the pond.
