To help with the geography of Duxford airfield in the past. I have annotated where some of the BofB film scenes were located on this early Duxford Airshow map. The map shows how Duxford was laid out at the end of the airfields operational career not exactly how it was in the mid 1970’s and includes items removed in the 1960’s including the 1950’s concrete blast pens at the dispersal points.

to be clear , someone said something on Facebook and that is the basis of this thread? Time to move on I think

Bentwaters runway was tied up most of the summer last year for this film. No conspiracy theory neccessary. Cars and part mock ups only, no aeroplanes despite what you see in trailer 😉

For an evocative shot of today it appears “Greg” did the business today:

This picture looks like it was taken within days of the Shacks first arrival.e. the Weds to Saturday as it is adjacent to the tower where it parked up with the sister ship on arrival. The wing tips were removed almost immediately and are out of this shot…..possibly an important picture therefore.

It would be interesting to know if the T-29 taxi shot was on arrival or during the fuel depletion flights which included a number of smiling EAAS volunteers as ballast!!

No one caught Classic Wings Harvard today then??

Look guys, I don’t want to start a flame war or suggest that TFC haven’t got it right but think about this.

I have taken DCW two pictures of the Fiat, given the likely aperture setting for the ambient light in the hangar and any distortion due to temperature differentials on those two dates. Applying this in a formula I found on google for concrete floor surfaces I think it is much more likely to be a movement of 4.5cm.

Sorry if that upsets anyone but sometimes you do have to just say what you think. 😉

Shame the operator could not be contacted to verify the facts surely? Or am i being naive?
