I think a nice 1/72 scale T-6 will make the long winter nights seem a little shorter. When’s it getting released again?

Finningley, june ’77 Queens silver jubillee review..

Wow.. what an air force!!

Great pics! What a fantastic amount of hardware. 5 Vulcans that I could see. Lightnings, Phantoms… Hurrah!

I remember Diamond Lil in 1992 but very little else. I guess I remember Lil because it was a first time for her over here. I took for granted everything else… 🙁

I attended a number of the Air Faires at Biggin in the early to mid nineties and I can remember only one year when she wasn’t there (I think she was in for an overhaul for that season). The show of ’96 was the last time I saw her, just a month before her tragic demise. 🙁

I was just becoming a teenager in the early 90’s. I guess I had other things on my mind. Shame really. I’m only a stones throw away from Biggin and am kicking myself now knowing that she was there.

Damn my adolescent ignorance!

What happened to the SHC’s A-26 Invader? I was looking forward to that.

And what was the “surprise” TFC had in store?

I thought the commentary had a bit too much of a Galic flavour- Bernard Chabbert is good, but one can have ‘a liddle beet too much’ of a good thing.

I thought he was good but he should tell bedtime stories for a living. He’s so relaxing. My friend thought he was joking when he told us that the Corsair had an ashtray and cigarette holder built in for long missions.

Had to laugh at some of the ever-expanding wind-break shanty towns on the fence- line, some of which have joined up to form complete enclosures.

We were sitting by the “tank track” and could see whole sections roped off. We were just ambling back to the can when this small gentleman with a bag on wheels and a 5 foot step ladder bustled past. Now he takes his airshows seriously.

This is my first Legends and to have two B-17’s flying will be great!

I’m off down (or up to be specific) there tomorrow at about 8am. It was my mate’s birthday in May and we all chipped in to get him a ticket. He’s never been to Duxford before ever. I think he’ll enjoy himself.
