    If you are referring to the “concrete dust” then there isn’t a problem, the vast majority of the dust in the aam is from visitors clothing and airborne pollutants from traffic, not concrete.

    That surprises me. I wonder what cure they have planned ?

    Stopped there on the way back from Hastings a couple of years ago.
    There was an air race going on. Very good museum.

    For those who haven’t been to Duxford for a while, and have been looking at the pictures of the
    aircraft movements from the AAM, here’s a couple I took on Friday

    Just the F-100, B-52 and B-29 resident.

    This is where they put the glazing.

    I asked one of the workmen about the work they are doing.
    I must have asked the wrong person, as he didn’t even know about the dust problem !

    I’d liked to have gone myself today, but I don’t want to push my luck with my wife 🙂

    Hi all,

    I stumbled across his widow whilst researching BoB airmen and suggested she write to the MOD and request his medals.
    They arrived in the post on Friday and the very kind people at ARCO and the IWM agreed to fly them in the Blenheim during its display.

    regards
    Gerry

    What a wonderful gesture !

    I believe the Dakota was in at Southend Airport earlier today. It was no doubt heading for Duxford yesterday.

    Also What I thought were two Spitfires in formation (but I’m told one was a Hurricane). Flew low overhead
    our bungalow at 7pm, heading east towards the airport. Just got a glimpse as I rushed out into the garden

    Possibly BBMF ?

    Hi guys great pics as always.
    Just a qucik question. Who is the pilot for the Blenheim? is it John Romain that just fly’s it or is there more than one pilot?
    Cheers
    Luke

    Just to add, that John also flew the Buchon later in the day.

    Late in the day the Storch put on an amazing display of low speed flying.
