I would like to think that one would be suited to Duxford, maybe as an outside walk through exhibit?
Had a fantastic day at North Weald today. Nice displays from Vampire, Hunter, flying circus and BBMF who displayed in some gorgeous light. Some other small displays from Kennet T6 and 3 ship Aerostars.
Brilliant photos once again DCW thanks for the coverage. One little thing, Shoreham airshow is this weekend and not next weekend as you stated above 😉
Great news that they are coming to Europe. I wonder if the P51 was sold with them as it wasn’t mentioned in the article?
PZ865, PS915 and the two Lancasters flew straight over my house departing to Clacton airshow from Southend and saw the two Lancs run and break to land too. Also saw a Tucano and Tutor depart from Southend.
Great photos by both DCW and Pen Pusher. I looks like Sally B’s upper surfaces look like they need a repaint again!
Lancs landed back at CBY. Just heard that all flying by them tomorrow is cancelled due to winds.
All due out at Southend at 6:30. Not landing back again.
I don’t see why Sally B would fly into Southend this Saturday? She’s not due to fly to or display at any airshows that day.
Info from 1935 rooftop bar at Southend Airport:
