Just returned from hols in Cornwall, and went to Flambards. I can confirm what David Burke said about the remaining airframes.
The Gannet is still there and looking a bit sorry for itself, although there was a placard saying ‘under restoration’, but there was no sign of any work in progress. I did not take a close look at the Wessex so can’t say much about it. Also outside is a small collection of wreckage recovered from the seabed – DB and Jumo engines, engines and other parts from a Hudson. All this is scrap.

Inside in the exhibition hall is a Concorde flightdeck, and the Shackleton nose. Both are walk-throughs. The Shack’s panels are protected by perspex, but you can sit in the seats and play with the yokes and throttle levers. It doesn’t seem to have deteriorated in the 6-7 years since I last saw it, so perhaps being a walkthrough isn’t a death sentence.
There is also a replica Pearse flyer, and a lot of photographic and other material relating to WWII. Finally, there is a display about Barnes Wallis’s swing wing experiments at nearby Predannack.

Professor Greer should realise she has had her day. Only a handful of academics give a monkeys what she thinks about Lancasters or anything else 😀

Ashley, I’d like to come to this, can I bring my 11 year old? He’s reasonably well trained. We’ll pass on the evening part, long way to go home!

Ran round the shops this afternoon but none had a copy of CFS2, so I’ll have to pass.
Interestingly one shop already had a pre-owned copy of CFS3 for sale at £15, but I managed to resist.

A couple of Duxford memories –

Just a couple of years ago, OFMC Fury and TFC Bearcat hotrodding around the sky, absolutely wonderful stuff and displayed the aircraft at their best:

And another show where a Chinook pilot flew a fairly vigorous display in torrential rain, with the entire crowd hiding under the Vulcan.:)
