Duxford’s runway was once 300 yards longer if I remember correctly.

The Vulcan, B52, B-29 and all the passenger aircraft landed and then the M11 was built which chopped the end off. I’m sure the M11 could have been routed differently or a tunnel put in. 🙁

Let’s hope when the time comes when XH558 stops flying it goes somewhere other than Duxford, it would be a shame to see B.2A XJ824 broken up.:confused:

For the weekend – A nice low pass to dry the runway off please, followed by a climb out.

The Sywell Airshow website is showing a silhouette of a well known aircraft.

Click airshow, click Displays, then click Surprise Act. :diablo:

I wish the TVOC would update their website more frequently, things are getting interesting and it’s hard to find out what is going on.

So far it’s Dunsfold and maybe Sywell – hopefully?

Multivac, No you did not doze off and miss the spit / hurri display on Thursday, there wasn’t one !

Thank you for replying. So what happened to the Tornados then on the Thursday?

If anyone knows about bookings for the Sea Vixen would they post them? I would like to see her in Royal Navy colours and I’m sure the owners are too busy to update their website. All the best to those involved with her upkeep.

Slightly OT.

Are there any more original models of Swallow around?
I know of the one at Elvington and the one shown in this thread is, I presume, in Hendon?

I ask this as there will soon be a resin model.

Is this what can be seen from the infamous “Tank Bank”?

Superb display……if pressed for a highlight i’d say the B-17’s and the P-51’s……a fine tribute to the Eighth Air Force.

Oh, and get well soon ‘Miss Helen’:(

Very true, I was in line of sight of “Miss Helen”‘s touchdown spot but missed what happened. I better not start anything here though?

In Top Gear language – C**K – I’ve just finished packing.
What’s the weather like for Duxford on Sunday?
