I have been to Legends 6 times now. Coming from Norway, this weekend of flying is simply fantastic. There is no such thing as a warbird show in my country, we’d be lucky to see a couple of them at any kind of show we get. Which is not very often.
You Brits certainly are lucky in that matter, being able to choose between a variety of air shows every year. I have noticed that the last 2 years there have been fewer aeroplanes attending, I guess this is because of the current economic situation in Europe.
For me there has always been at least one new type to see at Legends. This year it was the Avenger and the Storch, which I missed last year. I loved the comment by Mr Chabbert on that one, where he wondered why they started making helicopters :highly_amused:
Flying Legends will be a on my “to do list” for as long as I am able to og. Perhaps the Beaufighter will fly one day? A Mosquito? Having been introduced to the world of warbirds by Pierre Clostermann’s “the big show” all those years ago, my dream is to see a Hawker Tempest
in the air. If that happens, I am sure it will be at Duxford. Dreams, I know…..
Be it 5 Sptifires or 13 Spitfires, Flying Legends is a truly great air show.
