Damn shame. Was starting to look pretty good.
Dear Friends of Flying Legends,
In the light of yesterday’s message from our Prime Minister, and the uncertainty surrounding the UK opening fully for business, it is with deep regret and a heavy heart that we must cancel this year’s event. We understand the government’s careful position but cannot safely stay the course in the light of the potential loss and lack of clarity so close to show time.
We sincerely apologise for the disappointing news but the circumstances are truly out of our control. We will be reimbursing all of you, our faithful friends of Flying Legends who pre-paid for tickets in the coming days.
On a personal note and in the name of the whole team at The Fighter Collection who have worked so hard this past year to prepare the aircraft and the show itself, please know that this decision has not come lightly. We are very sad but pray that next year will be COVID free for all and that Flying Legends 2022 will be a classic.
Thank you for your understanding and for your dedication and support.
Yours sincerely
Nick Grey
Director

I popped into Duxford today , first time this year and i didn’t see any mention of it at all ( i know it’s at Sywell ) but most the aircraft would be familiar to Duxford.

I do not blame them, the fragility of events with the chance of local lockdowns due to new variants could cause devastation and great financial losses to the organisers this thing is not going away anytime soon

Oh blimey that is a shame , understandable but the season needed a big day . Lets hope for a much better year next year and maybe some new restorations to show off.

Thanks for the heads up on that. Pity, I was looking forward to it too.
