Would the Finnish markings be allowed in Germany?

Best picture has to be the cockpit shot. Wow, scary stuff!

I used to buy both magazines because they were both different.
Flypast was the warbird restoration magazine with articles about restorations, airshows etc. Aeroplane was a more general magazine with civilian, articles etc.
Most importantly they were different magazines. Flypast kept to a similar format where as Aeroplane kept changing. One minute retro, next minute civilain, next minute hotchpotch.
Of course for me they are both academic as I tend to get most of my information on the internet now and my interests are more for model making (in terms of the mags I buy).
In the past I had plenty of money, mags were cheaper and I tended to buy more. Now I have to be selective.
Another thing about Aeroplane is the cover. Not as exciting as Flypast or just annoyingly similar.

I think it would be better to have an aircraft of the night as the subject, such as a Lancaster.
The Spitfire looks a little out of place at night.
A nice picture none the less.

There is a story I was told, by an ex-8 squadron Stirling pilot that there was a celebration for Gibson in the mess and a large cake was made to mark the occasion. When Gibson entered, his head was unceremoniously pushed into the cake. Apparently he wasn’t well liked on the squadron.

Leaders are often not well liked. Bader, Gibson and probably many more people could mention. But that doesn’t detract from the fact they were great leaders.
It’s a shame Gibson was killed (he shouldn’t have gone back on ops) but don’t forget his crewman who died with him.

I’ve been going to airshows at Duxford since 1989.
In those days Legends was called `The Classic Fighter Display` and was a much more low key event in terms of participating aircraft.
Since 89 I’ve only missed two `Legends` (whilst also attending many other Duxford displays) this year being the second and in that time I’ve always been onsite, parked by 10am.
I travel from the south via the M11.
The only time I queued to get in was the Spitfire anniversary display and that was only a few minutes. So this year sounds exceptional.
The information about how bad it might be was clearly posted on this forum and as I had already seen the Lancs at Dunsfold decided to give it a miss.
I never have an issue getting out of Duxford. I always delay leaving an hour or two after the show to take some pictures when the flightline is clear and to browse the hangers and stalls.
It’s pretty obvious by looking that the traffic is bad and if you want to queue in it that’s your problem. Never could understand why people rush to get out. I think people just need to chill a little and enjoy the evening. Dunsfold was another example. People queuing to get out a good hour before the show ended? If they had left it another 90 – 120 mins they could have driven straight home.
People should consider themselves lucky. I can remember queing two hours to get in and out of Fairford and Biggin in the 90’s. But did we care? Hell no, it’s an airshow!
BTW anyone remember the queue for RAF Abingdon during the special flypast?

Is Duxford a good venue? No, it’s a great venue!

I am wondering of the queues to see the two Lancaster’s might indicate people want a little variety? Perhaps a little refresh of some of the flying displays might be called for.
