Apres Legends ~ Duxford Friday July 11th

Fri Jul 11, 2008 4:03 pm

Arrivals and practice flights make the day before Flying Legends Air Show something of a must for warbird fans

We were blessed with some fine weather right up until the heavens opened mid afternoon !

Lets start our tour with a look in The Fighter Collection hangar, where we find the fuselage of the P-47 has returned fron Chino.

Engine test stands come in many shapes and sizes ~ the power runs of both Merlin and Griffon engines always attracts a crowd on show days

Fellow WIXer "VikingBoss" gives the test stand some scale ...... :lol:

Ed Shippley had been assigned daisy cutting duties

After lunch things got a little hectic. The Scandinavian Historic Flight P-51D sits waiting to fly a practice display .....

And has to wait until the next arrival has landed

Hmmmmm where will they park the Pink Lady .....

And that's all for today ! Must get some sleep ~ there's an air show tomorrow !!!

Thx for the great pics! Keep us posted. Glad to see Liberty Belle is getting some good ol' 8th Air Force-style English air into her system!
