Creaking Door
In daylight you can sit watching the aircraft on approach to London City Airport banking around the Shard.

The weather was relatively nice when I left home for Duxford but the further south I traveled the mistier it got and it hung around for most of the day and combined with the late autumn sun, turned into a bit of haze. There were a few more people with camera bags around than I would normally see on a Thursday visit as well. Mmmm. Early afternoon and Terence The Tug and his handlers were moving war birds about as they extracted the silver Fennec from the middle of Hangar 2 and the Duxford based Jet Provost fired up to go flying but shut down a short while later as there was a problem with radio communications. As the late afternoon sun was setting in the west and the mist and haze rolling in again, the Blenheim/Bolingbroke was wheeled out of the ARCo workshop and shortly afterwards fired up in front of a large crowd of ARCo employees. At 15.18 the wheels left the the Duxford runway, in perfect conditions for a test flight but less than ideal for photography, for the first post restoration flight of G-BPIV since a landing accident at Duxford in August 2003.
