A bit of refurbishment has taken place in the entrance to hangar 4, as part of Historic Duxford, in what used to be the briefing area used by the 78th Fighter Group, USAAF, when they were based at Duxford during WWII. The area is aimed primarily at school parties with the jacket and hats available to try on. I think it could do with some old school style radiators instead of the modern hardware though.
Spitfire/MH434 has been replaced with a Chipmunk in hangar 3 and at the other end the Me.108 has been replaced with Spitfire/SM845.
The missing aircraft I came across later on down at ARCo.

With very few visitors about I gave the Panorama Mode on my Sony NEX-6 an outing. As well as overall shots I got in close and used the Pano mode as a ‘w i d e’ angle lens.

A quiet Saturday at Duxford but plenty of visitors. Terence The Tug was out and about towing Bulldog T1/XX543 from hangar 2 out to the Jet Pan and which went flying later on and inside Hangar 2 Chipmunk/WK522 is finally sitting on all three wheels although it still has a few parts still awaiting fitting.

A beautiful day out at Duxford with wall to wall blue sky, a gentle breeze blowing and warm enough not to have to wear gloves but enough of the weather forecast. I was walking past the hangar base between 3 and 4 hangars when I heard behind me what tuned out to be the ARCo tractor heading for 3 hangar. Well I just had to go and have a look. The Classic Wings yellow Tiger Moth ventured out into the daylight so the Me.108 could be extracted from its winter resting place. A bit later one of the Classic Wings silver Tiger Moths went flying and some of the Duxford based GA types were doing circuits along with a few visitors.
