Old Warden Monday 15th December:
Some recent work on the hangar floors has displaced many of the exhibits. The vehicle collection is particularly well shown at the moment:
I think there’s a caption competition here:
Lysander and Deperdussin:
In the workshops, there’s major progress with Spitfire, Camel and Triplane. They will all be featured at the Engineering Open Weekend on Sat 27th and Sun 28th December. An ideal post-Christmas day out!
Duxford Sunday 14th December:
With nothing much to report today, here are a few recent pictures from the American Air Museum. The early sunsets provide some different lighting at the moment:
Duxford Wednesday 10th December:
Not much activity this morning, though this team in Airspace were well above ground level, checking on the Dove from above:
Work on the Catalina’s undercarriage :
Duxford Monday 8th December:
There was a new airframe in Hangar 3 this morning, well wrapped up against the cold. I can’t be sure, but I think there’s a Blenheim under there somewhere:
The above gun pack was echoed in Hangar 2, where TFC’s Gladiator is now up to three guns for the first time:
The early sunsets at this time of year offer some colour:
If you are passing the Britannia at any stage could you take a shot or two so I can see if she’s ok???
Duxford Friday 5th December:
There was some rare sunshine at Duxford today, so naturally the Blenheim stayed firmly on the ground:
Frankie, however, took full advantage of the weather and treated us to a marvellous winter workout. To see and hear this man and machine is always a privilege, but in today’s late sunshine, it was something special:
Duxford Wednesday 3rd December:
Etta Jeanne II is now back in one piece in Hangar 5, and will probably stay in position until the F-15 is ready for painting:
There was more Mustang activity, with Ferocious Frankie making a short flight:
The Blenheim I was out for her 4th flight:
Duxford Sunday 30th November:
Thanks for all the recent comments, I think I can speak for all the regulars when I say feedback is always welcome.
Today saw a chance to check on Etta Jeanne II’s progress. The tail is nearly ready for re-fitting:
Two oxygen bottles have been added to the rear fuselage:
The cockpit is mostly complete with only a few gaps to fill:
In Hangar 2, Sally B’s regular crew were working on the undercarriage, allowing a rare view of the B-17 main gear:
Duxford Friday 28th November:
After a week of bad weather and little activity, we were treated to a second flight from the Blenheim I . Sadly it was in extremely poor light, but here are a few pictures anyway:
Many thanks to Peter The Greeter for the following shots:
Duxford Monday 24th November:
After three days of rain, some sunshine today brought out a couple of Duxford’s trainers. Sadly, the star turn failed to make an appearance (And I don’t mean Pen Pusher).
Duxford Wednesday 19th November:
Duxford’s based Jet Provost was busy this afternoon:
And, as mentioned elsewhere, Blenheim (Duxford) Ltd’s Blenheim I reproduction G-BPIV/L6739 underwent some engine runs. At 1530, she taxied for the first time as the sun went down:
Many congratulations to the whole team.
Duxford Tuesday 18th November:
The sunshine didn’t last long this morning, with only the Typhoon captured while the Airspace doors were open:
As the light got worse, Chipmunk G-BWMX/WG407 arrived for some training:
Spitfires PV202 and TD314 were very busy today:
