    Duxford Diary will continue, but when and where remains to be seen.

    It seems only fair to wait until things settle down, hopefully a more user-friendly, searchable and pictorial forum will result.
    Speaking entirely for myself, since the thread has always been picture led, it needs to be somewhere that can display images to their best advantage.

    How about a vote on leaving Key ? If a majority votes in favour, we’ll leave on October 31st, with or without a deal ! I’ll ask Boris for advice.
    What could possibly go wrong ?

    Many thanks to everyone who has been in contact with support and suggestions.

    Duxford Friday 30th August:

    There was a very welcome visitor at Duxford today, Fairchild 24W-46 G-SEDC.
    Flown last week after a 41/2 year rebuild at Earl’s Colne, she is now the fifth on the UK register and the only one with the Warner Scarab radial engine (and the only one in civilian markings).
    Built in 1947 and looking better than new !
    Many thanks to RG and GS for access and information.
