Duxford Autumn Airshow 10-10-10 - pics

Duxford Ten out of ten out of ten



Very quietly and with nowhere near the fanfare it deserved the RNHF Swordfish arrived to provide the highlight of the year.


It was SallyB’s birthday and Duxford didn’t let the American Air Museum’s flagship down. Its just a shame the USAF balls’d up their flypast. The based team did it right though.





The show then took on a training theme








The Sea Fury follows the Seafire, just like it did in Korea.


The Last of the Many, in more ways than one as PX865 is due a major and a repaint over the winter.


The Pitts displays reminded me very much of the Rothmans team in the late 70s


Just imagine what “Terry” thinks when he sees this, actually scratch that. If he’s that close he wont see it, he’ll feel it if he’s unlucky.



A superb C-47 pairs display, a new team for next season?


But they have redesigned the aircraft somewhat


Here kitty


Sunset of the Sabre?


Its been a great season.

Haircut sir!



Did I mention the C-47 display was rather good.

phenomenal stuff, as usual....looks like you had great weather for it!

I say, old bean, don't you mean PZ865 will get a repaint?

Love the Tucanos in WWII livery....suppose that won't last till next year.

Swordfish, that's great!
Thanks for sharing the pics.

I hate when that happens...I hate my keyboard too...all the letters are too close together.

Great pictures, thanks for sharing.

Excellent photos.

I'm curious...is one of the C-47s the one that has been parked at the Top Gear test track for some time?

[Pat Carry]

Great stuff again. I really enjoy the 5 photos showing the 2 C-47's.
