Just realise the photo wasn’t showing, hence the lack of reply!!
Should be there now, can anyone help?
Thanks for the replies folks, much appreciated.
I’m trying to track down two airframes that were last noted there, Jet Provost XM468 (W&R 23rd Edition) and Phantom Cockpit XV419 (Thunder & LKightnings Website)
Any ideas?
Excellent Denis, well done to you all. You I ask very nicely if you wouldn’t mind posting them on AiX as well??
Once again, very well done to everyone and I look forward to seeing it soon.
If I recall, the gate guardian at their previous home in West Drayton was a Lightning.

VC10 was delayed due to weather and is now arriving on Tuesday.
I will be there on Sunday and am looking forward to it, never been before!+
One of the elite, a pilot who showed he had what it took to be one of the best. He may not have been on active duty in Afghanistan, but he died while serving Queen and Country, representing HM Armed Forces and will still be regarded as a hero by many, including myself.
Thanks for that G-AESA, I assume it is a candidate for restoration or will it be sat there in that state like the CASA 211 and the yellow Fairy Firefly? When did it arrive?

Fantastic photos, wish I could have been there this year – the line up looked better than any Duxford show in recent years.
Great photos as always hydealfred
Thanks for the comments folks, and for the explanation of the elevators – I did wonder what was going on with them.
PART 2
Despite going back to the car when this landed causing me to miss it, then I missed it being towed out but managed after a sprint from the car to get this as it was being towed back, not seen one before so it was good to catch it;
No trip to Waddington is the same without a photo of the Vulcan;
Then a McCord AFB C-17, callsign ‘Thunderbird 15’ arrived;
E-3 ZH103 returning;
The the RC-135 taxied out;
And backtracked down the runway;
And took off;
Climbing away from the runway;
It was a great day, cold and wet in places but it was brilliant to be there. I grew up watching the Nimrod at airshows and I wanted to see the last flight. I know my photos are not as good as some one here but I hope you all enjoy them.
Thanks to Warren, Steve, Jim, Doug, Craig and all the others for some great company and good banter through out the day.
The rest of my photos are on my website ere;
