Would anyone like to add anything ?

I just came across this thread from 2010. Talking about the proposals that Duxford had for charging extra for
airshow Fridays, including charging members of FOD.
I see the idea of charging of those members was reversed. The charging of members of the general public must
have been reversed to, but the link to a statement from the IWM doesn’t work any more.
Can anyone with a long memory remember what their conclusions were ?
Great news for the BCWM !!
Must get there again.
Thanks 🙂
Is there a date for when the Lancaster is due to arrive at Duxford, will they perhaps try and coordinate it
with an airshow ?
I remember being in my back garden when one of the B-17s which had been in Southend for a
paint job, flew over, heading west along the A127. Followed close behind by a P-51 doing barrel rolls.
Must be a slow day at Dx when all the talk is about the size of fish and chips and the colour of the walls in the newly re-furbed café, just bring your cheese sarnies and a thermos of tea
when you visit –

Photographers march in their stomachs. 🙂
On our first couple of visits we took food with us. Then stopped, as it was just something else to carry around.
We shall reassess the situation on our next visit. Although as I mentioned before, on airshow Friday’s there are
normally a couple of mobile food concessions operating. That way you can get something quick to eat, without missing
out on any flying which may be taking place. Without any queues.
Nothing worse than sitting in a restaurant and seeing or hearing something interesting flying by.
Lovely photograph Duggy 🙂
Mmmmm… Google ?, what an interesting concept. I wonder if it’ll catch on ?
I am surprised. It wasn’t A conspiracy theory, I was going by what food concessions were charged at the
Essex shows ten years ago. Many paying £1000 or more for the weekend for a small food wagon.
I know little about tanks either, but I wonder if they have reached the end of their development ?
Is there scope for improving armour any further, or the projectiles coming out of the barrel ?
Most, if not all of the conflicts we have been involved with where tanks have been used (post WWII), have been
against poorly equipped or poorly trained adversaries. You will only know how good your tanks are, if pitted
against a well trained army using modern tanks. I suspect that given this scenario, there wouldn’t be much in it.
One thing is for sure, your tank would be a target for every anti-tank missile on the battlefield.
It also takes a long time to move a lot of tanks.

The smaller SRN6 often provided a “fun” crossing to the Isle of Wight, I recall!!
I believe they still do. The only commercial use of Hovercrafts in Europe.
The Hovercrafts mentioned above used ex Britannia engines. I know Monarch supplied some.
How long before someone comments that you mustn’t be so negative, as you’ll upset the staff ?
As for queueing in Joe’s, we’ve found timing is important. Leave it until 1pm and you’ve got no chance.
