At last I am finaly going to get down to Dux tomorrow for my annual hommage, instead of returning and posting a load of pics that everyone will have seen before, I thought I might ask…..
Does anyone want me to take a pic of anything?, perhaps for those who are unable to make it and are interested in a particular airframe maybe.
Admittedly I am pants with a camera but I need the practice and will do my best:D, got to go now and make me spotters pack up:diablo: .
Regards,
John.

Glad you enjoyed the visit, sad thing is that it was the worst day down here for over a month, good for the garden but bad for flying, was anything up?
Lets hope things improve again before May 5th.

Thanks John!
Good to hear you had a great trip to Duxford! Hopefully the Victor gets restored and takes her place in the new building soon!

Evening all,
Well what a day!!!!, I made out for Dux at insane o’clock this morning and was filled with mixed emotions.
After being so bitterly dissapointed with the new ‘hanger’ at Cosford I was prepared for more dismay at Duxford’s new hanger but I need not have worried, it is blooming stunning:D 😀 .
The airframes in there are quite close and some might say ‘crammed in’ but there are some wonderfull angles and new dimensions to photography to make this an exciting place to be, the weather was very poor but inside there was still enough light to make for some cracking pics and posed no problems.
I wish I had the time to trawl through the 300+ shots I took today and post a few but having just spent several hours in the saddle I am ready for stella and bed, I will do a thread in the next few days when time permits.
Peter,
I tried to ask about the Victor but there was very little information forth comming but judging by the room left in the new hanger it looks tight if they want to squeze her in, for the moment she is outside on the apron just opposite the new hanger.
Regards,
John.

Eric
Can you not make your visit the day after then you will be there on the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Welcome Day.
The BBMF’s public launch of the flights 50th anniversary year, sounds like a damn good day to be there, my boss has other ideas though:mad: .

victor pics please
Can you also find out what they are going to do with her?

Anything with lots of panels off or bits missing. It makes the picture more interesting.
