Today at Legends

Coming from the M11 you get stuck northside.
It happened to me and I wasn’t best pleased, especially as by the time we were parked it seemed halfway to Cambridge.
Robbo says if you ignore the signs you can get into the west car park, but the blurb says you have to turn left when leaving.

Brilliant Brilliant Brilliant Show!

Commentary was some what odd including the following

“Listen with your stomach” ?????????????

Great fun wasnt it. Nice shots chaps.

The weather was very changeable. From arrival at 7:30 through ’til 13:30 was warm, nil wind with high broken cloud. Just in time for the show opener a black cloud rolled in a dropped large rain drops on us. From then on it was alternating dark clouds and blue skies. The strong wind certainly made the pilots earn their keep.

The dark skies did provide a nice backdrop when the sun was out.

Hope it is a little better for those that go tomorrow.

Great shots, many thanks! But…why have they all got blue backgrounds? Weather has been awful here in the West with only a small patch of blue.

very funny digby

The A120 ? well I should think it will have white lines on it and will be covered in tarmac 😀 😀

very fast took us 40 mins gettin home

parking was easy i arrived at about 11

Thats ok then, as I’m coming from the Colchester area aswell & aim to get there for 8am..ish so I should be ok to get a decent parking slot.

Whats the new stretch of the A120 like?

TB

Yes, I’m sunburnt as well – I still can’t work out how we missed that huge black cloud towards the end of the display! Sorry I didn’t bump into you today and Hi to the guys I did meet – sorry Mr Patterson, I saw you but you were engrossed in conversation and didn’t want to interrupt to introduce myself. Great show, great company (Janie – now I know what you look like, be VERY afraid!). Yes, I’ve seen more numbers in the balbo than today and there were some notable absences (Janie, Jumpin’ Jacques, BBMF Lanc, Blenheim etc) but hey, what about the quality? The IMMACULATE Constellation, the gorgeous Lockheed 12A, SIX Rapides flying together (as DHFAN said, I didn’t realise 12 Gypsy Sixes could make so much noise!), the I-15 ……. Wonderful, wonderful. I hope the guys who go tomorrow enjoy it as well as I did today. Also, I hope all goes well at Snapper’s do at the Red Lion tomorrow – I’m too knackered to go all the way back to Duxford tomorrow, much as I would like to. Thank you once more to all at TFC and IWM etc who made it possible. Roll on Legends 2005. 😀 😀

Last ones. Don’t want you to get bored. 😀 😀 😀

In case you would like some more ………….. The lighting was a bit challenging at times.

Parking

Sounds like an excellent show.
My turn tomorrow, how can I sleep?

Re Parking:

I will be approaching Duxford from Jct 10 of the M11 & am wondering if I will be able to get into the west car park from this direction, or is the west car park for traffic coming from Royston only?

I am trying to avoid getting stuffed in the north car park, is this an overflow for when the airfield parking is full?

Will I need to go via Royston for the west car park?

Cheers
