My Flying Legends ultimate collection

very nice collection of photos……
I would be interested what members do with their photo collections once edited. I have often had various shows copied onto cards and put onto gallery frames at home. I am slowly compiling an aviation index of all my old wet photos onto digital format etc. please share your ideas for some additional inspiration..
Well done again.

I suppose getting a calendar made up of your best years photos maybe?
I just trawl though all the pics I take and plop them on Flickr, I have collections of my best stuff for each show.
I also occasionally scan my prints from old shows and upload them, as I never used slide film. Looking back I wish I had, only I thought that would have been too expensive.

Cheers

Superb wasn’t it! Quite a fast aircraft for its size.

Greatpics, and to see the other perspective for a change, though the crowdrow viewpoint is always more scenic with the rolling fields and hills as backdrop, timeless, but for that lineup of plastic and aluminium private planes that spoils a lot of good pics, couldnt they park that away out of view for the weekend at least? There is so much authenticity at that place, add the reenactors and ground eqpt, and then to see a cessna172 in the backdrop kills it..

With the layout of the airfield the way it is, and the size. I can imagine it being quite difficult what with all those flying visitors aircraft. The only remedy to that I can think of is for flying visitors to arrive at Cambridge airport and be shuttled to Duxford. Being the first time for me to view from the south side, I was amazed at how much of the old airfield is now farm land. You don’t appreciate how much from the north perspective. Basically you can see that what is the current airfield and museum grounds, only covers half of what it used to be.

Nice shots.

Very nice photos!

Did anyone read what was on the sign the Red Bull’s Corsair pilot was so thankful for? In a glimpse I read “sexy beast” but not sure if it actually said that!! 😀

This is what really caught my eye on the participation list. Something I’ve never seen flying at Duxford as I’ve only been going since 2007.

I’ve been going since 1997 (though I did miss a number of shows) and I think the last time I saw an Avenger perform was in 1992 and/or 1995 in the Netherlands. For me it was the highlight of the show! A wonderfully spirited performance. Every time it made a steep turn and dove back to the airfield I got a glimpse of what Japanese soldiers must have experienced on the receiving end of a strafing run…!

Shame they only do this once a year, but it’s really impressive all the organisation that goes into this show.
Until next year!
