Duxford Visit – 22Oct10

49th visit of the year to Duxford and two up on this time last year. Might get another visit or two in before the end of the month, like this Sunday as TFC could be doing a bit of flying as in the Harvard was taken out to be topped up with fuel, but just in case had a good session in 3 Hagar before it’s closed for the winter. Apparently a new resident in Hangar 3. Many thanks to Joe from OFMC and TFC for a close up look around their aeroplanes.

Agreed and a request:

I know it can be done, but I haven’t done any online research, but have you thought about creating your own 3D still images, which we can view if we wore the right glasses?

I would imagine that you’d need two identical cameras – which I think you have?

Just a suggestion.

Keep up the good work.

Slightly off topic…

Fuji and another manufacturer (can’t remember) do a 3D stills camera, there was a feature on BBC World News channel programme ‘Click’.

They cost about £400
Hope this helps

Can anyone confirm that TFC have purchased an ex Dutch Sea fury’s Centaurus engine a few weeks ago?

just had a quick looky looky on G-INFO and i see a few review dates for the TFC’S Permits to fly have been put in for November, February and March. Good news one would assume.

I think the only 3 flyables without one scheduled are the Gladiator, Corsair and Hellcat.

Nice one!!!!
