If you click on the Contact us section for those MUPPETS at the Cambridge post you can leave a voicemail for the chairman! 😡 😡 😡

Duely done! 😡 😡 😡 😡 😡

These people need to be challenged and brought to task!

Looks like Wall-Mart with aircraft in it !

😀

I ‘m sorry to be a detracter but thats exactly what my Missus said…(well Tesco!)

Its great these aircraft are undercover, Although I cant see why/How Airspace has cost so much this Layout seems somewhat ‘the same’ (Yes I know its not finished)

All the ‘hung’ aircraft are ‘flying’ at the same angel…straight and level, Would be nice to see a few different angles used

Good luck and well done to all those at the ‘coal face’ 🙂

P.S. The Coffee shop has had this ‘de-sanitized’ effect, It used to have loads of posters from the period, now the walls are bare…minimalist…looks like a Tesco Cafe now! 🙁 The character of Duxford is being lost…

The presenter said that because the nearest service station was 40 miles? away that motorists will need somewhere to stop?

Well if they get off at the Duxford turning there is a petrol station in both directions less than a couple of miles away? Are we really that incapeable of planning a journey and looking after oursleves???? :confused:

No, it was “Anyone seen my effing Chipmunk”, remember who was flying it!!

Clive Denny ???

Looks fantastic, especially in the Early BA scheme, did this Concorde ever Fly?

Lets hope she has a long happy stay at Brooklands, unlike Solent Skies Sea Vixen! 😡

Hardly “criminal” to have recovered this interesting artifact from a mountainside, stabilised it and placed in on public display, under cover, in a museum devoted to Bomber Command.

Their very limited restoration resources are devoted to the Hampden at present. I for one have no problem with that.

With limitless funds and resources, I’m sure another Wellington would be possible (but would be at least partially a replica). In the meantime, I can only applaud the work that’s gone into making East Kirkby what it is – they do an excellent job with limited resources. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my visits there in the past, and always remarked how beautifully kept the museum and its surroundings are.

What he said!!! 😀

I can’t believe you guys are unhappy with the sale of the B-25 and the advertising of the Beaufighter and Tigercat.

Stephen Grey is a very devoted enthusiast to who we should be very grateful.
I can remember when having 2 Sptires at an airshow was a real luxury ,the continued growth of The Fighter Collection has seen an array of beautiful aircraft that I never imagined I would see flying.

Now let me ask you this ,imagine you have a car on your driveway and your driving licence is for some reason withdrawn so you can no longer drive it,
what would you do with it ?

1. maintain it regardless of cost, MOT, tax ,insurance ,servicing etc,or

2. sell it and use the funds elsewhere .

This all that Mr Grey is doing,difference is ,you don’t get howls of protest if you sell your car ,so i’m saying look forward to seeing what TFC are preparing next rather than whining when one is put up for sale -the line up is impressive

Gladiator,Sea Fury,Fiat ,Spitfire XVIII ,P-40 ,P-47,no doubt an amazing collection on its own and apart from that where would they keep them all?
Read the post by Beaufighter VI about the struggles the week before legends and take that into account as well, Hmmm more respect for the work of Mr Grey and his engineers required I think .

Steve

p.s enjoy them while they are here ,WE never appreciate what we have until its gone!!!

Great post Steve, I guess nothing is forever….

Personally I think its great to see some new aeroplanes joining the Collection.

The sale of the Hurricane obviously is for a seperate issue, I wonder if we will see a new Hurricane at TFC.

Either way they do a great job……..cant wait for the Gladiator!!! 🙂

Isn’t the airfield owned/operated by the local council?

I believe that IWM do not see flying at Duxford as ‘core’ to its future, there is a belief that the museum would manage without it.
