To echo other threads, a huge thank you to all who contribute to this remarkable website. The first thing I check each day, and am never disappointed.
All the best to all in 2016.

Duxford Thursday 31st December:

As the time approaches to wind up this year’s Duxford Diary, it is also time to say a few words of thanks. I am sure I can speak for all the regular contributors in expressing our gratitude for the assistance and tolerance shown by staff and volunteers on our frequent visits. We are also very grateful for the positive comments posted my many forumites at this time of year.

There is plenty to look forward to in 2016. The first big event will be the re-opening of the American Air Museum in March:

Wonderful photos as usual. I noticed the R.R. Hucknall runway in the background of Steve’s Chipmunk shots. Another piece of history gone.

What about the tower???

God P9374 is such a gorgeous looking spit!
Didnt some middle eastern prince or something similar buy her? But will keep her in the UK? Im sure i read that on the poster of the UK based airworthy spits! May have misread it though

The theme was 1940 ….

Yes ours was too, though accuracy was very low in terms of re-enactment authenticity.

A few badges seen at Duxford this year. Not a quiz, nobody will get them all……
