The Duxford based Buchon was out in appropriate heat and sunshine today in a new heavily weathered desert paint scheme to represent Messerschmitt Bf109 E-7 “Black 8” as flown by Leutnant Werner Schroer of Jagdgeschwader JG-27, Ain El Gazala, Libya in April 1941.

The Broussard left just as the museum opened and the Essex+Herts Air Ambulance called in for fuel and when it left just before mid-day the outside air temperature, according to the tower, was 27degC. So a bit Scorchio. Classic Wings were busy with their ‘Experience Day’ which as well as flying includes rides in a tank up at the Land Warfare Hall. MJ627 made a return visit from Biggin Hill for their ‘Fly In A Spitfire’ flights. Surprise item of the afternoon was Hurricane Mk.1/G-HITT which flew in from Old Warden, did a few aerobatic maneuvers over the airfield and then headed back to Old Warden. MH434 went on a two hour round trip to Weston-super-Mare for an air show which was where the MiG-15 was off to as well.

A bit of a Spitfire Saturday at Duxford with TD314 heading off to Headcorn for the weekend and PV202 and N3200 flying with Classic Wings. I got some slightly different angles on N3200 as it made a cross wind landing, it was blowing across the runway from the south/south-west, and if only I could have zoomed back further than the 100mm the lens allowed.

Sunday 4th June
Weather wise, the day started with blue sky, sunshine and was quite warm. By the time the Nimrod’s returned from Old Warden just before 4pm, it was wall to wall clouds, dark, cold and was trying to rain, but that’s Duxford for you. Martin-Baker King Air was in first thing to pick up some passengers and Classic Wings were having another one of their ‘Fly with a Spitfire’ days. The HAC Nimrod had left early for the air show at Old Warden and the TFC Nimrod, Wildcat and Bearcat were parked out on the airfield with the Wildcat going up for a test flight and a spot of aerobatics. The Nimrods both returned from Old Warden at the same time with a run and break before landing. Sally-B was having her inboard engines run and ‘Ice Cold Katy’, the BAS Twin Otter, flew off during the afternoon.
