Nice B-25, any details / history of the marking chosen ?
Question for the DX regulars. Are the B-29 and B-52 still parked outside and are they easily photographed ?
B.29 still parked at eastern end of apron and nicely positioned for photographs particularly afternoon onwards when sun has moved round.

Duxford Wednesday 5th August.
Fairly quite today at Duxford although it was nice to see a vintage visitor from Austria in the form of a Datwyler/Piper J3C Cub OE-AHO which was one of a number of Piper Cubs rebuilt in the 1960s by Datwyler in Switzerland.

Duxford Tuesday 14th July:
An interesting visitor was this Dutch registered Aircoupe ‘Miss Dolly’, in the colours of a US military JATO test aircraft (ie a rocket-ship!)
Interestingly the Aircoupe ( actually an Ercoupe 415CD ) has been around for a very long time – in fact nearly 65 years or so and is seen below in a somewhat poor b/w image at Gatwick ( as it was then !) on the 19th July 1951
