A month or so back my brother asked if I’d like to go to Duxford for the Airshow. The answer was immediate, yes (as I like aircraft). So imagine my disappointment when after getting the ticket I found out it was ‘Flying Legends’ ie old stuff.<\/p>\n

Now I like shiny new jet planes, so faced with a day of old planes I thought I might get bored.<\/p>\n

An early start was required, though I thought 06:30 was too early. In the end it proved to be the best time to go. Roads were fairly quiet so we got there about 08:30. The thing to remember about an airshow is to get the right pitch. We found a gap and quickly got the chairs.<\/p>\n

There is a fair amount to do at Duxford. The US aircraft display hall, Land battle Hall, Static Aircraft and Something called ‘Air Space’. Though the latter was closed. Pity as they have a Concorde in there.<\/p>\n

Also prior to the show you can get closer to the display aircraft for an additional \u00a34 (Which is a fair amount). So to kill an hour or so, I went and took a few shots Airside.<\/p>\n

Lunch\/Hunger conveniently arrived then.<\/p>\n

So, after a wait the show starts. And what a way to start. Say what you like about the Americans (I usually do), they certainly have some impressive toys.<\/p>\n

\"F15 O.k it’s not strictly a flying legend, but to see this flying about sure got the event off to a great start.<\/p>\n

Noisy bugger it certainly is, but I doubt too many complained.<\/p>\n

I will update this page a little more, once I have processed some images (only did this one as I wanted to see it, been ill since then so confined to the bed\/sofa and laptop!).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
