So I have been flying the B-17 a lot recently and neglected my good ole T-6... This really is a superb little aircraft and is so much fun to fly! Took some screenshots during a little flight from Duxford, doing a bit of sightseeing over Cambridge to refresh myself, followed by some basic aeros on the way back.The screenshots have been 'auto-corrected' in Microsoft Office Picture Manager, but aren't too far off what I see as I run SweetFX/Reshade
I hope you enjoy...

Pre-start
Started easily despite not having been run for a while...

Departing Duxford to the North
Over Cambridge...
Over the countryside...
Back over Cambridge... that's Cambridge airport just through the clouds...

I know. That sound is hard to beat. And then the tension during landing...

I know... I was doing really well - wind straight down the runway at about 8kts... 3 pointer (I am doing my ppl in a Tiger Moth) It was a lot harder than I remember it being!! I walked away though and the hangar says all good still!

Re: Chilling in the T-6/Harvard
Cheers Lewis... That is ACG Duxford...
I virtually flew G-TDJN out your way today... Went Duxford - Wattisham - Felixstowe - Lowestoft - Seething. Took the same route as I did when I was a very lucky passenger in a P-51 last Feb... except we went back to Duxford after Aldeburgh...
Tucked up in the hangar at Seething (UK2000 airfields). First time I have used the towing function!!
