I would expect the Patrouille to only fly on the Saturday, it would be very unusual if they flew both days.

Pretty nice, that list – other than the Geneseo Skytrain heading up the Dak quintet, and the Patrouille (and even the latter have been at DX several times before), it’s the usual Duxford list, but you can’t fault them for booking around the theme. Several D-Day veterans in the programme, plenty of others with D-Day connections… Just a shame the Thunderbolt’s gone and the Lightning is (almost certainly) too costly for an IWM Duxford show. There’s quite a big 8th/9th AF hole there, particularly given the role those two played during Overlord.

Still, should be good.

2x P51’s, B17, DC3’s so far maybe another P51 or two and a B25 what else is there around that could be displayed to represent the 8th ?
