    Duxford Monday 6th June:

    The French Harvard/Zero F-AZRO, here since the May Airshow, returned to France this afternoon. It contrasted well with the Aero Legends T-6G which also departed today:

    A French invasion this morning ( quite appropriate considering the date). This 1967 Horizon was the only ‘historic’ type from the 13 touring aircraft en route to Scotland:

    Duxford Saturday 4th June:

    It was a long wait for today’s entertainment at Duxford.
    HAC’s Nimrod and Fury flew together before the Nimrod set course for Old Warden:

    DCW, that’s a great shot, got any more similar to that one?

    I wish I could claim credit for the picture, but that belongs to Adam Dickinson. Here’s another shot which shows the new Building 420 at the Eastern end:

    G-CJEN Ferguson 1911 monoplane registered 9th May to the BBC in Belfast.
    Apparently an original aeroplane, see:

    Also, Bremont’s well known Broussard F-BXCP is now allocated G-HOUR.

    Duxford Tuesday 24th May:

    An unusual sortie today involved all four Classic Wings Tiger Moths and Spitfire PV202, all filmed from Robinson R44 G-CDSY. Time will no doubt reveal all.

    The ‘new’ Tiger Moth G-AGPK / PG657 is a superb restoration. She last flew (around 10 years ago?) in Brooklands red and black.

    Buchon ‘Yellow 10’ was on the move, sporting more than a little masking tape…….
