Duxford Wednesday 17th June:
Last April, the Duxford Aviation Society marked their 40th anniversary, and today celebrated the landmark by spotlighting their achievements to invited guests and IWM visitors. Most of the airliner fleet were open for inspection, and naturally most attention was on the Ambassador, officially unveiled this afternoon. The interior is remarkably complete, and the flightdeck details are astonishing.
The Military Vehicle Wing was also featured:
