Anyone have a link just to the video so we can spread the word?

I’m sure it will be put on Youtube soon enough.

Thanks for posting! Great video. I’m looking forward to whatever turns up, but I do REALLY want to see P9374. Also am seriously looking forward to the Fury, but something tells me the best place to see the latter would be roaring off the grass at Old Warden on a sunny afternoon…

Effing brilliant!!!!

I wonder how many people will assume certain attendees just by the short video clip?

All I want is no wind, 30 degrees slight cloud and a beautiful day. Let’s hope the weather gods know its moved forward a couple of weeks!

Oh, and a 3 ship horsemen routine!

Me!

Full Volume, wide screen – excellent! Thank you Sir!

Made the blood rate rise nicely….

FL pitch confirmation arrived this week.

Just hope the conflict with Waddington doesn’t divide and conquer.

Superb stuff as ever! I’m surprised more airshows don’t do this sort of thing, to be honest – you’d think it would be a pretty good online marketing tool for events large and small.

Really great trailer there !! They will come in their thousands.

A siren call to all lovers of old warplanes, from the deserts of Sudan, and the gardens of Japan, from Milan, to Yukatan, in the wilds of Borneo, and the vineyards of Bordeaux.

In the dock of Tiger Bay, on the road to Mandalay,
From Bombay to Santa Fe, o’er the hills and far away…

All will wonder if THIS is the year to make that pilgrimage to the sun-kissed flatlands of south Cambridgeshire. ..:D

Juicy…!

Nice trailer. I might even make he effort to go this year. The thing that puts me off Legends though, is the non-stop PA/Commentary. Having hauled ones decaying frame hundreds of miles and burned a not unreasonable sum of money on transport, entrance fees and a £100 burger one simply wants to enjoy the experience.
Set against the anticipated treat, is the depressing knowledge that one must endure hours of pointless, needless, banal blather assailing ones aural faculties. The closer to the flightline, the worse the row becomes. It’s hugely inconsiderate to leave one’s Mobile switched on at the theatre etc. This is a similar issue. The required information is there in the program if visitors want it. All that is needed is for any changes etc at the most. Instead, one has to endure such over-amplified exhortations to ‘Just listen to that’. Err…yes…we were trying to…! If you are trying to video anything, the constant wittering on the P.A. just ruins it utterly. I for one would go every year, – but I don’t, and the P.A. Commentary is what ruins it. I know I’m not alone, because I’ve heard similar views expressed independently many times.
It’s not an issue confined to Legends or even Duxford of course. I totally fail to see the point in having people grinding-away on the PA, telling people what they know and can see and hear for themselves. If you can’t both see, hear and recognise the large noisey lumps of machinery that are thundering past you really aren’t there…!
Worse still, is when two or more people start to have a conversation on the PA. Do they really think this is what people have gone to a lot of time and expense for..???? Really, safety and changes from the printed program are ALL we need, most especially when the a/c are active. Period. Do we really need to be told facts that we all know? Was the Spitfire designed by R.J. Mitchell and it fought in the BoB…Really..??? Well I’m jiggered…. Powered by a Rolls Royce Merlin…? Ya don’t say.. If we want more info’, we’ll buy a book. The last time I attended, it was so irritating, people in the crowd were shouting out for the commentators to just ‘shut-up’, or Anglo-Saxon expletives to that effect.
Legends is probably the best show of it’s kind on the planet. It’s the wonderful culmination of huge effort, dedication and expenditure. It’d be nice to be allowed to enjoy it without the pointless twaddle. Perhaps they could set-up a radio station for the day, so that those who wish, can listen to their hearts content. As for the rest of us, we’d much prefer to listen to the aeroplanes and absorb the real ambience thank you.
This is a perfect case of ‘Less is more’…!

Another great trailer Steve, always love them. Do you put them as an extra on the show dvd?

No, but that’s not a bad idea!
