Once the clouds parted and the sun came out, it was quite nice wandering around Duxford. The only warbird movement was Frankie returning to 3 hangar from ARCo and the Stearman going in the other direction. In 5 hangar the Cockle Mark II two-man collapsible canoe was receiving a bit of TLC.

OFMC’s P-51, ‘Ferocious Frankie’ went for a test flight today with the prop and spinner from the Hardwick Warbirds ‘Marinell’ bolted to the front to aid with an ongoing vibration problem. A nice bit of display flying over the airfield as well. Meanwhile the only noticeable changes since my last visit include in the American Air Museum, the B-17 has had its chin turret attached and the TFC Corsair has spread its wings. The Lynx, that had been resident in 3 hangar, has had a Bimble down to AirSpace to keep the inmates there company. The Boultbee Flight Academy Spitfire T-9/(G-ILDA) is in temporary residence in 3 hangar and apart from a couple of GA visitors the only other flying was from a Sikorsky S-76C/(G-FULM) doing circuits around the airfield.
