My apologies if someone has mentioned this, but in all te threads I have read about the Duxford show, I think only one actually mentions the fact that there were veterans present – and a lot of them too. Bob Foster gets a mention as one of the pilots of Hurricane R4118, but what about all the others?
The same signing with Bob had around 10 other veterans, including no fewer than five Typhoon pilots. In other areas there were signings by USAAF aces, and the Hurricane Society had three RAF Battle of Britain pilots, who sadly, were largely being ignored for large parts of the day, which I find terribly sad.
Of course the aeroplanes were wonderful, and that is obviously what most people go there for, but come on chaps, please let’s not forget the guys who flew them!
Aww man wish i was there, i would have loved to been able to speak to soem veterans! Never had the chance before
