Has anyone told them they’re a bit late for Halloween

Must be on a ghost slow…

Have they named the buses yet? They’re very similar, how about arse & elbow? (as a friend named her two identical cats…)

Has anyone told them they’re a bit late for Halloween

Duxford Monday 31st December

It has been quiet at Duxford over Christmas.
In fact, it would be polite for Hangar 3 visitors to tiptoe…

Happy New Year to all.

Hope everyone had a great crimbo & that 2019 is a good one

Baaaaa Humbug

Happy DXmas to all

Getting close to the end of 2018! What a great year it has been for the superb photo images that have arrived here. My hat off to all the guys – and gals – who have kept us enthralled by some of the best ever seen on this Forum. More next year , please. And to the scribes who scribble here…. keep it coming, always entertaining and sometimes a little controversial. Thank you, too. Hopefully some of the missing highly valued experts will be tempted back, we miss them.

To the MODS and KEY players who run and fix this forum, you obviously had a tough time you’re nearly there so lets look forward to a streamlined next 12 months. But above all Thank You to everyone who contributes here, Seasonal Good Wishes and Soft Landings in 2019.

It will be interesting to see what effect Brexit has (if any) on the Legends line-up.

Already the first eight aircraft confirmed for FL 2019 – TFC’s Spitfire Vb, Bearcat, Wildcat, Corsair, Two P40s and Two P36s/Hawks

Yes thanks for all the photos and news this year from all the regulars. Best wishes and safe flying for all at Duxford in 2019.
mmtch.

G’Day all. It’s that time of year when I put in my annual post. As always, I would like to thank all contributors for their excellent photos and the information that is shared. Have a fabulous Christmas and best wishes for 2019 from Perth, Western Australia (39C) this weekend. Send snow!:cool:

Several Spitfires still flying at Biggin end November and I think I noted ‘MSB out and about on FR24 last week. I expect they are bedded down for annuals now but, hey, catkins are out and some trees are in bud… who knows?

The so-called global warming is just global warming!

Love that silhouette shot!

Beautiful display by RG on arrival in the Fury ISS G-CBEL this afternoon with a lovely “Ray Hanna” low pass at the end. I thought “December 19th and I’m watching a Sea Fury displaying!!!” Absolutely fantastic and then to see Yellow 7 depart the other way back to Sywell – A Buchon flying mid-winter. Awesome – I’m all for these knock-on effects of so called Global Warming… 😎

Duxford – Wednesday 19th December
