Duxford Ten out of ten out of ten

Duxford Autumn Airshow 10-10-10

Very quietly and with nowhere near the fanfare it deserved the RNHF Swordfish arrived to provide the highlight of the year.

It was SallyB’s birthday and Duxford didn’t let the American Air Museum’s flagship down. Its just a shame the USAF balls’d up their flypast. The based team did it right though.

The show then took on a training theme

The Sea Fury follows the Seafire, just like it did in Korea.

The Last of the Many, in more ways than one as PX865 is due a major and a repaint over the winter.

The Pitts displays reminded me very much of the Rothmans team in the late 70s

Just imagine what “Terry” thinks when he sees this, actually scratch that. If he’s that close he wont see it, he’ll feel it if he’s unlucky.

A superb C-47 pairs display, a new team for next season?

But they have redesigned the aircraft somewhat

Here kitty

Sunset of the Sabre?

Its been a great season.

I love the shots of the Dakota pair, a new display team in the making I think.

Question – were you one of those chaps in the background to my Trucktop landing picture?

Good thinking there John and I read the answer.
“further over” still means exactly the same as I see it.
That is, if the piccy was taken over the other side with the sun behind they were still on the wrong side (not on it) of the paying fence (excuse the pun):dev2:
Look at the piccys on the blog! the one you quote at the top shows as good as exactly the same but in the reverse….but “further over” was the quotation.
Piffle!!!!!!
Clearly further over 6″, 6′ or 6yds, for what it is worth was not enough….it should have been Royston!!!!

Stunning!
Love the moody Sabre landing, the two C-47, the Swordfish and the one-wheel touch down of the P-51.
Thanks.

Lucky you with the Swordfish. When it went past me on the way out it was almost directly into the sun.
