Re: Flying Legends, Duxford
Lovely pictures. I wish I could be there on a flying day, but it's a bit of a schlepp for me. The worst of it is that we don't get any airshows in this part of the world lately.
Cheers,

Re: Flying Legends, Duxford
Fantastic couple of days! 11 Spitfires taking off en masse, what a sound! The pictures I took on my crappy camera don't do justice to the atmosphere.
The 'Balbo' finale is jaw dropping. I just stood there with my tutu round my ankles!

This is from 2015 and the only difference(I could see) was that the Gladiators role was taken over by a Sea Fury.

I enjoyed the battle of britain display I guess it was because it was one of the ones that was at the same time as my break

What a beast! The one that grabbed my attention though and which I named 'Man of the match' was the BearCat. Apparently was a holder of the 'From take off to 10,000ft' record of 94 seconds!Lewis - A2A wrote:mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, Sea Fury

Re: Flying Legends, Duxford
The guys at Reno from what I understand have a very healthy respect for Rare Bear which is a BearCat. By healthy respect, I mean that of all the planes on the field, that is the plane to NOT get caught up in the wake turbulence from. Apparently it is particularly vicious. I am not sure if it is the massive prop on it, the shear horsepower, something peculiar about the foil design, or what, but this is the reputation I have heard about.Ron Attwood wrote:What a beast!

Perhaps Dudley has some insight on this.
