I take it that was Hunterfest Martin.

Great photos Al – good to see G-VETA up and about. Now if only she’d popped over to Duxford to join in the F86 party! 😀

These things happen its the one bad design of the 17 cockpit was where the gear levers and flap levers are placed. That is why most 17 operators have moved the Gear switchs to the top panels.

Same on the DH Vampire and Venom as even some of the most experianced pilots have found to there cost!

Errrm yes,i did have a large white lens LOL,[thats all the wife would say] 😮 .I had a camera bag with me and was wearing a black fleece.

I was wearing all denim with a blue rucksack, shades and a red sunburnt face! 😀

Yep, it’s been great at Duxford today!! 😀

1 practice display from Cliff Spink and 2 from Mark Linney – what can I say pure pleasure. 🙂

One thing I was surprised to find out today was that the ejection seats for the F86A were made by Mitsubishi, so soon after they had been fighting each other!

I tend to find that weekdays are more active than the weekends especially as the maintenance organisations work Monday to Friday. The week before an airshow is normally more busy and press days are normally Thursdays. The weekdays before Legends are normally very busy. Hope this helps but at the end of the day it’s very pot luck.

Great Programme. 😎

Cheers again Ian, without your gen I never would have knowen it was on. Ta.

Great photo’s Tim, looks like a good day. 🙂

Would have been there myself but for work. I see they were displaying the new DH Devon ‘glider’. 😀
