    As usual, many aircraft were displaced during the move, giving the chance of some different shots (new monopod on trial!):

    Duxford Tuesday 12th September:

    There was plenty of fighter activity today, with the TFC P-40C and Spitfire IA AR213/P7308 returning from Goodwood. They joined the Wildcat, Bearcat and Spitfire V on the grass, while Spitfire PV202 and Buchon G-AWHK from ARC flew practice displays. Hurricane G-ROBT / P2902 was also training (they all managed to evade the sunshine!)
    The Blenheim also returned (late) from a prize-winning appearance at Goodwood last weekend. Many congratulations to all involved for the Freddie March Spirit of Aviation award.
