well thats great news for all concerned. Coincedently the arco website has been updated (including pics of the mark 1 blenheim nose – well done smudge!).
i would assume the d model will have to be stripped down similar to the a model.
looked like the spit ftd mk xviii. it flew over Basildon Asda (where i was standing in the yard) at about 1000ft. clear blue skies as well!! i was like a little school kid when it came over!!!
well its certainly looking like a good airshow to me. Don’t you just know its going to **** it down, then the sun will come out sunday evening as everyone is leaving!!!
wow!!! its looking amazing! Another p51 for the display circuit next year can’t be a bad thing! Will Mr Hammond be displaying them as a pair(obviouslly not on his own!!).
think i saw the spit ltd me 109 (buchon) making a break for duxford in between the heavy showersat about 7pm last night as i was hurtling down the a13 to lakeside.
Saw a spitfire heading north / north east over horndon-on-the-hill essex on the way to my mums house. I suppose favourites are either the Kent spit or PT in his pr xi. nice to see in the early evening sunshine.
Its a shame that nobody wants to do the same for the Blenheim. after 2 months all the remaining money would have been found. Can’t the Blenheim soceity do something similar or maybe duxford adds a pound to its airshows this year that goes directly to the Blenheim fund. i would gladly pay the extra £1 knowing it goes directly to a plane which has more chance of a sustained flying career.:mad:
