My take on the Spring airshow at Duxford, it was a shame that the wind was so strong but a special mention has to go to the BAE SYSTEMS Moth and Blackburn B2 from Shuttleworth (and their accompanying Cub) for fighting their way over from Old Warden in the wind. Not only that but they flew a cracking display in the conditions as well.

Nice to see some sun on the early acts, it was a shame that the rain storm curtailed the display, we moved after the Chinook and I think we made the right decision.
