Anyone have a link just to the video so we can spread the word?

I’m sure it will be put on Youtube soon enough.

Who has photos of the Wildcat while in the US?

Rob did by a new warbird a Stearman that made its show debut at Combined Ops 2011 at Lashenden (Headcorn) in August.

LA9 flew in the UK in 2003 with OFMC.

Here’s one from me. The first time I ever visited Duxford was in 1999, in September. I had a great day and just before leaving I shot this photo of two arriving aircraft. The P-51 is just taxiing back while the P-40 has just landed.

I cannot remember if I heard before or after (I think it was after) I took this shot but this was the Sunday that Mark Hanna died after his crash in the Buchon the previous day. I think he was supposed to be the third aircraft in this formation, arriving back from Spain.

It is a very boring picture in one way (I cropped it a bit too) but on the other hand I find it poignant.

Looking at the image firstly, I just thought, the usual, warbirds landing at DX, but then I read what you had typed, and looked at it again. My heart sank, can’t imagine how they felt! 🙁

Rumours going round that it’s going to be a 7 hour display and that the Vulcan, Swordfish and the French/Swiss display teams are all rumoured to be confirmed. How much of that is true I do not know! So don’t shoot the messenger! 😀

Cheers for the update DCW! 😀
