Only went to Duxford today to take advantage of the blue sky, sunshine and the unseasonably warm temperature before the mini ice age descends on the UK this weekend. Again. T.20 Sea Fury went flying for about 40 minutes with a very nice aerobatic display over the airfield on its return. Apart from that it was very quiet. Photos in the order taken.

So no one bothered to look on the Hawker Restorations web site then.
2 SEATER HAWKER HURRICANE
An exciting opportunity has arisen to either partner with Hawker Restorations or outright own the only 2 Seater Hurricane in the World. There are many 2 seat Spitfires operating in the UK which not only give a unique flying experience but generates substantial income in order to offset the restoration and running costs. A 2 seater Hawker Hurricane would not only compliment the 2 seater market it would be an absolutely unique addition. For more information please do not hesitate to contact us.

Had the arm chair whingers and moaners and letter writers of misplaced sign boards got out of their arm chairs and paid a visit to Duxford they would have found that the offending, at least to the arm chair whingers and moaners and letter writers of misplaced sign boards, had actually been moved since the start of this thread.
Actually better the arm chair whingers and moaners and letter writers of misplaced sign boards don’t visit Duxford because if they go into 2 hangar they are liable to have a heart attack.:D
Now back to the real world.

Thursday 22nd February
The weather forecast was for a wind chill in the minus numbers but even well wrapped up, it cut straight to the bone and the ‘Beast from the East’ isn’t due til next week. Another war bird Thursday with the Fighter Collection’s T.20 Sea Fury going up for a first flight with its new engine that trails a line of black smoke behind it. On the second flight we had a spot of aerobatics from it and it flew again as I was leaving. Harvard ‘Taz’ went up for a quick handling flight and Spitfire/PV202 was flying passengers as well as one of the Classic Wings Rapide. A bit of modern hardware arrived when a Royal Navy Wildcat dropped in for a spot of fuel. In the order taken
