can’t wait to see what the Vixen looks like once she’s finished, is there any hanger access during the winter to the aircraft?

I find all these pictures of aircraft being treated in a rather shameful way at the end of some rich careers very depressing, lying there to be broken up for some cash. Almost brings a tear to the eye thinking of what’s been lost over the years.

if you want good photo opportunities then i suggest becoming very good pals with us brunty dwellers.:D

Would bringing cake help?

Last time I was at Duxford there the only thing I saw go up was the B25 Grumpy, otherwise the only thing I saw moving was the Renault F1 2009 car which was doing some straight line testing.

Even with a full day there, there wasn’t enough time to get round everything and can quite happily spend another day or two at the museum.

Depends on the airshow as to costs, the flying legends isn’t run by the IWM but they do get a fee for use of facilites from the ticket sales, don’t know the percentage for 2009 however. So clearly with an established show that can guarantee a certain level of ticket sales there doesn’t seem to be an issue attracting a reasonable number of aircraft

saves having to wash them I suppose, have any ever got a bit too low and ended up ditching to anyone’s knowledge?
