“Ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome to Duxford Flying Leg-Ends, 2040. Before the flying starts today, you might like to look around our newly-expanded (For the fifteenth time) American Air Museum, which now covers much of Cambridgeshire and has eight B52’s on the ceiling. Anyone with an interest in British aircraft might like to see the single Spitfire we left rotting outside.
In the next building over, ARCO are busy restoring their ninth Blenheim, after that terrible incident last year that upset us all so much, when Grandpa Romain landed the last one and forgot where he left it.
In the flying today we have the Rolex Fighters, that famous team that fly nineteen Spitfires, fifty six Mustangs and a Corsair in such close formation, they take paint off each other’s wings. (Hard hats will be provided.)
The Royal Air Force Red Memorial Arrows Flight will appear today, with their nine red Tornados flying a perfectly flat, slow flypast only of course, followed by that old favourite the four engined thingy, which is now so old no one knows what it is anymore. Still, it looks and sounds nice.
The Bruntingthorpe Vulcan will make a special appearance today, on the backs of several trucks that will drive along the runway as fast as they can. The crowd are asked to all crouch down while this takes place, to heighten the effect.
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for paying £234.96 each for your ticket, and for visiting Flying Leg-Ends, 2040′.
