Does anyone know more about the late Paul Jameson and his father (who designed/built a flat-four Jameson engine flown briefly in the Miles M.18 in WW2 and later in the prototype Saro Skeeter on its first flight). He clearly was a Merlin engineering specialist, lived near Dorking and is rumoured to have been involved with Merlins required for the BoB film…..or am I misinformed?
Paul Jameson also briefly owned an ex Battle of Britain film Buchon G-AWHG that was damaged during the delivery flight to Spain for the film Patton. From what I have found on the web Jameson died tragically in the early ’90s whilst part way through a third merlin engined car.

Thanks Darren, the cold is the one aspect of Duxford that I would change.
The following photos make up the bulk of the show.

I’d never have believed that my attempt at an artistic Spitfire shot would have turned into a debate about fasteners! Now where did I put those rivet photos.

Thanks Anna, I didn’t thaw out until I hit the M25!
After the chaos in the car park, the rest of the journey wasn’t much better, traffic everywhere. Where do all these people go on a cold Octobers day.

Daz, I think you might be wise to get shares in Andrex.

This photo arrived too late for the Warbird Digest article.
Are you sure Daz wouldn’t be interested JDK!

Thanks Steve Y, for the kind comments, did you manage to take a decent shot of the Invader, unfortunately for some reason I only took one photograph of the aircraft from the rear! if you could post one it would fill a gap.
Albert, if you do go, take a flashgun, despite the photos looking bright the display area around the Brisfit/ RE8 is actually quite dark. I took many of the images at very slow shutter speeds as well as using the flash for others.

Very nice, Septic. Which Spit is that in the D-Day stripes?
MJ783, but it wears the seial of MJ360.
