Well I was just putting out my bin bags for tomorrow’s collection and got somewhat distracted by a big radial engined war bird doing aerobatics over St Ives, Cambs.
P-47 any one? 😀
Brian
Indeed Brian – Outbound from DX -to St Ives. Returned just prior to 6pm.
A few further pictures from DX this afternoon.
The Amiot dismantled and ready to leave ?
Spitfire TR9 G-CCCA departing (possibly to Antwerp?)
DX Thursday 9/5/13. As reported on the TFC site the ‘box’ containing Princess Elizabeth was opened this morning. (it isn’t likely to be de-containerized today however)
Meanwhile the TFC P.40B has been moved to Hangar2N.
In the AAM the new markings on the fin of the B.17 appear to have been finished.
In AirSpace the dis-assembly of the Amiot appears nearly complete and has been moved round since yesterday.
Nothing seen flying today (partly down to the windy conditions I suspect) but both the Desert Buchon and the TFC P.47 were seen returning to their hangers after engine runs.
Great coverage DCW of the Amiot showing what visitors to Duxford will surely miss after her soon forthcoming departure. The only upside is that she will be going to the fantastic Krakow Museum apparently.
Below a couple of further pictures of her last intact movements at DX today.
Duxford – 5/5/13 – Not to much to report today apart from a large variety of Classic Cars and many people. The based T.28 departed to Abingdon this morning followed soon after by the based Beaver G-DHCZ making possibly on its first flight of the year.
BBMF Spitfire XVIe TE311 at this evenings show.(alas the Hurricane that was due to attend with it went tech.)
Duxford 26/4/13 – With the Duxford Spring Air Show just a month away a sign of things to come — the’ First Eagle has landed’
Showing off its immaculate new colours and markings Spitfire 1a AR213 (as P7308) is seen mid afternoon about to be positioned in Hangar 3 (with a well deserved ‘thumbs up’ from its creator ??)
and parked alongside Spitfire 1 P9374 in hangar 3

Duxford 25th April – Another hot sunny day with quite a bit of activity. However I missed the main 2 events. Firstly the first flight of the year in late morning of the TFC P.40B G-CDWH and then in late afternoon the first flight of the year of Buchon Yellow 10 ( although seen from a distance below climbing away from DX for its test flight and practice display !!)
Otherwise a mini hangar shuffle at TFC saw a few aircraft out in the sun. Below the TFC Gladiator and P.40F.
