Superb second set of pictures – thank you. Back to your earlier point I like the idea. In theory it makes all the sense in the world but in practice? DAS have been onsite for years and predate the IWM – I believe. They also contribute heftily to IWM funds. Bearing in mind the logistics to do what you suggest and that the majority who would undertake it are volunteers I cannot see it ever becoming a reality, although I’d like to be proved wrong.

Apologies for extensive thread drift here…….:)

My take on it is the shows are a sell out so why bother, if Cosford can do it then so can Duxford, they emptied the American hangar in no time, it just needs someone with a bit of will power that’s all, some times I wonder if the people that are running these sited
are in to aircraft or just businessman.

Very nice photo’s. A joy to view them all. Alas the photo’s of the TSR2 do evoke a feeling of sadness. “what if”………..

Can you imagine a flight line of those at Coningsby all in 70s wrap round camouflage.
