As the gale force winds of the last few days had subsided and with the prospect of a bit of sunshine, I wasn’t expecting too much to be happening at Duxford this close to Easter. Apart from a lot of family visitors, the Fire Section were playing with their new Tonka toy as they put it through its paces and the glazing panels at the front of the American Air Museum have started to be removed. Inside hangar 4, the Autogyro has been moved across the walk way to make room for exhibits coming out of the AAM.

Weather wise, a day of two half’s at Duxford. The morning was low cloud and visibility and it was probably warmer in Siberia but that didn’t stop a superb display in the far from ideal conditions by TD314 which took off just as doors opened. It returned for an air to air photo shoot in the lowering cloud base and with a bit of rain falling put paid to the Stearman and everything else going flying. Afternoon and it was blue sky and sunshine with a touch of wind chill thrown in. The ARCo Harvard, ‘Taz’ was doing circuits and the Boultbee Spitfire after flying to the north, returned for a display and then circuits with lots of landings and take offs. Photos in the order they were taken.
