The whole project looks awesome, pay no attention to the ‘fire prevention officers’ Garden shed engineering is what makes this country great 😎

Well said that man. They are after all adults, using their money, their enthusiasm, in their yard, and its their risk. Their only apparent mistake was making it public for others to see and criticise! 😉

Sounds like its got great potential. Good luck i say! 🙂

Where you end up parking largely depends on which way down the A505 you are travelling when you reach Duxford.

Most years, coming from the East (M11 side) we have ended up parked North of the airfield on the domestic site, crossing over to the show on a temporary footbridge.

Also, unless its changed, if your coming up the M11 from London way you will be directed to park on the airfields eastern end (air and space – TFC hanger side), with those coming from Royston A505 being parked on the airfield western end (land warfare).. until those carparks are full.!

Hard just to pick one out, for me apart from those already mentioned I’d say John Larcombe in the Blenheim and John Watts in Plane Sailing’s Tigercat. Two great pilots that are often overshadowed by others.

Did John Watts fly the Tigercat. I only remember Paul Warren-Wilson flying it!?.
But John was much admired by me in Lindsay Waltons Corsair, and he actually came over and spoke to little ole teenager ME at Mildenhall.. all because i was carrying an F4U-7 Corsair sticker 🙂

Great set of photos. All the jets of the historic flight are simply superb, but the Viggen steals it for me!

I’ve read that the flight crew reported engine trouble to the tower before going down.
