Duxford – Wednesday 4th May

With a change of ownership in progress according to G-INFO she departed this morning to Carlisle ( and perhaps beyond ). Seen below lifting off from what has been her home for the past 15 years.

With the arrival of a second Grumman Wildcat at Duxford today ( to join TFCs current example ) perhaps time to remember the only other example to visit DX in the preservation era.

Re: PETER CHANNONS Australian attempt in G-ABTC CL.7 Comper Swift
I am presently searching for information / details of the sponsor inscriptions and motifs/logos applied to G-ABTC – the tail in particular. A high resolution photo would be a real help.
Known sponsors: Pentax, BA, Westward Airways, Airtour Elstree, Onata Dubai
I would appreciate any information.
Regards
Kelvin
A few pictures may help and be of interest.

A glorious sunny Spring Day at Duxford saw plenty of GA flying plus some of the locally based aircraft in action.
