A few of mine from today. Inside AirSpace, roadies were setting up a stage for the L’Oréal Colour Trophy Hairdressing Regional Final.

With ARCo having provided the entertainment last week, today it was the turn of The Fighter Collection with their Bearcat, Wildcat and Harvard parked among the daisies on the airfield having engine runs after a bit of winter TLC. There were a few GA types taking advantage of the nice weather with a visit to Duxford with the Auster V/(G-ALXZ) showing off its newly acquired desert camouflage scheme. Photos in the order they were taken.

Another day of war bird action with the Me.108 having a couple of flights during the day. Late afternoon and John Romain took the Desert Buchon, that arrived yesterday, for a flight to the north with some aerobatics over the airfield on his return. Half an hour later and he was in the cockpit of Spitfire Mk.1a/N3200 and after a trip to the north he was back over the airfield with more aerobatics and a missed approach before landing. An Apache spent about half an hour doing circuits and wing overs late morning and I think it’s the only time I’ve been able to get a side view showing the serial, ZJ224, on the tail.

A bright, sunny but blustery day at Duxford and a bit of war bird movement this morning when the HAC Hurricane was trundled up from ARCo to 3 hangar and P-51 ‘Ferocious Frankie went back in the opposite direction. Plenty Easter holiday activities taking place in AirSpace with plenty of children building Airfix kits, trying on uniforms etc. and next to the psychedelically lit Avro York an opportunity to drive a remote control tank around an obstacle course. They said I was to old to have a go. Early afternoon and the Me.108 went flying again.

A few from the flying today which was a bit interesting as the wind was blowing across the runway/airfield.:D

TFC were out to play again with the Hawk 75 parked on the airfield for an engine run and blowing away of the winter cobwebs. With the haze, or was it Shahran sand, lighting conditions for photography were far from ideal.

A quiet but hot day at Duxford and not an April Fool in sight. My take on the TFC musical aeroplanes during the afternoon.
