Duxford Tuesday 12th May:
Early visitors today were treated to the A-10A moving from the AAM to Hangar 5:
For a while, there’s a Thunderbolt and Thunderbolt II together (but sadly not easily seen):
Already in their new temporary homes were the UH-IH (in Airspace):
And the F-4J(UK), looking absolutely spectacular in Hangar 3. Get it before the owls do!
Also in Hangar 3, the Avenger is folded up and repositioned:
After lunch, the F-111E emerged ready for a move tomorrow:
The B-25 has also been prepared for landing:
And the B-29 is looking lovelier every day:
Duxford Monday 11th May:
The American Air Museum exodus resumed today, with the B-52D emerging first:
The B-52 should remain outside for a few days. Next out was the F-4J ZE359. These aircraft are really coming to life:
The A-10 was lowered to the ground. Anyone remember the episode of ‘Only Fools And Horses’ with the chandelier?
‘Brace yourself Rodney!’
Today’s airshow was provided by ‘The Shark’
Duxford Sunday 10th May:
Some welcome TFC activity today, with flights from the Spitfire V and Wildcat:
Classic Wings were very busy again:
Sally B was crew training:
Here’s MK805 on the way home this evening. Confirmed by the builder/owner as returning from the London stage, and snapped at the Pampisford MacDonalds after leaving the M11 at Duxford.
Duxford Friday 8th May:
VE Day at Duxford, and here are some Spitfires, starting with the 2 o’clock dogfight:
The Superfortress performed a towpast to great acclaim, and is parked on the jetpan for a few days::
Some of the other AAM refugees:
Duxford Wednesday 6th May:
Duxford’s Catalina had a busy day despite the strong winds:
A passing J58 turbojet from the SR-71A:
Duxford Tuesday 5th May:
Very strong winds were delaying further moves from the American Air Museum this morning. The C-47A looks like it will be next out:
Duxford Friday 1st May:
The B-24M Liberator left the AAM early this morning, but waited on the jetpan until the SR-71A could be towed into Airspace.
Some pictures:
The B-24 is now on show in Airspace. I urge anyone able to get to Duxford this weekend (don’t forget Sunday is the Spring Car Show) to pay a visit before the building gets more crowded. The aircraft has simply come to life in its temporary new surroundings.
Next candidates for a move:
And to crown a great day, a vigorous workout by ‘Yellow 10’ practising for an Old Warden appearance on Sunday:
Duxford Wednesday 29th April:
Sally B emerged from Hangar 2 after another winter’s hibernation. Please forgive the smaller amount of coverage than usual:
The Blenheim I flew again:
Among today’s visitors was this Lynx, I think ‘AY’ makes it from HMS Argyll?

The TFC Nimrod I was also out earlier, while the Bearcat posed in the sun:
In Hangar 2, work is underway on Yak 3 D-FLAK:

The only movement (so far) connected with the AAM project is P-51D 9246, now in Airspace:
Duxford Monday 27th April:
Plenty of media attention on Spitfire P9374 today, though she was eclipsed by the presence of 19 Sq and Battle Of Britain veteran Ken Wilkinson:
TFC’s Corsair flew today:
Visiting was Bronco G-ONAA, sporting the newly applied Bavarian markings:
Duxford Sunday 26th April:
A busy day for Classic Wings again, providing rides in seven aircraft and the chance to fly alongside Spitfire MH434. The Gnat Display Team were also present, practising for the upcoming season.
The contractors at the American Air Museum have now cleared the way for the upcoming exodus:
