A different type of warbird flying at Duxford today when ‘DEMON 11’ flight, a pair of Fairchild A-10 Thunderbolt II of the 107th Fighter Squadron based at Selfridge Air National Guard Base, Michigan, flew a couple of missed approaches at Duxford before returning to Mildenhall. They had been to France to take part in the annual D-Day Anniversary event near Cherbourg. The lead A-10 was wearing a special paint scheme commemorating the 100th Anniversary of the 107th Squadron/“Red Devils”. The Squadron is on deployment to Europe. Three passes had been booked but the A-10’s were a bit late and the Hawker Fury was waiting to depart to open the Old Warden air show so we only had two circuits. Photos in the order taken.

A very quiet day at Duxford punctuated by a brief flurry of activity in the afternoon with a practice display by the The Patrouille Acrobatique de France and after they had finished my first chance to catch the new Spitfire PR.XI/PL983 flying. In the order taken.

Another glorious sunny war bird Saturday at Duxford. As the wind was favoring the 06 end of the runway, I spent over 5 hours on the tank bank overdosing on Vitamin D. In the order taken.

A short visit to Duxford for me today despite plenty going on in the sunshine with pilots and war birds out on handling flights prior to departing for air shows like the Twochon and Spitfire FR XIV which went off to La Ferté-Alais.
