    G-BUCK went down after departing Duxford. The pilot managed to safely land in a field near Puckeridge between Luton and Stansted. From what I heard there was black smoke and a lot of oil thrown onto the windscreen so the engine was deffinately not in good shape. I believe its now back at Waltham, although in a few more pieces than when it set off.

    I wish a model as detailed as this would be made for Flight simulator X! It looks incredible, great job so far!

    Alan, I think the Brussard was parked up at White Waltham when I poped in for the BoB flypast, nice aeroplane.

    I though it was the waltham based Brussard for a moment but I think its just a similar paint scheme. In a ll my years at waltham I dont think I’ve seen the based Brussard move. Quite an elusive creature. Sometimes its there, other times it isn’t.

    The much anticipated debut of another long term project:

    Always nice to see a tractor from my fathers old company…

    Somewhat related, but somewhat not as well, the BBMF Red Section diverted into Waltham after being blocked out of Northolt due to a large curtain of rain. The Section comprised of four Spits and two Hurricanes. Here’s my take on the aftermath;

    To stop the airfield from looking untidy, perhaps?

    Just seemed odd as I’ve seen plenty of GA aircraft across the runway at other Duxford Airshows.

    Does anyone know why Duxford aren’t accepting any visiting GA aircraft for the Airshow on Sat-Sunday?
