Today at Duxford...

Two seater Hurricane (Twocane or Toucane?) BE505 was flying, "Marinell" was sunbathing with TE462, the Comet 4 G-APDB was looking at a future outside after being 'evicted' following 19 comfortable years in Airspace and the Harrier GR3 XZ133 was back on terra firma for the time being after hovering for many years in Airspace...

What a difference a week makes...

 ...compared to the wet weather of last Wednesday, it was almost summer-like today. PT462 was active again and Hurricane R4118 was flying towards days end...

After the rain....

After a morning of heavy rain, the clouds parted around 2pm and PT462 and PV202 were pulled out for a flight...
PT462 in her temporary new scheme looking very nice...
BBMF's Dakota, in her new SEAC scheme was being squeezed into H2 and their Chipmunk watched on...
I don't often get the same types of the first two aircraft I have flown in, in the same frame (C-47/DC-3 in 1956 from Lydd to Wick and a Chipmunk around 1970 from what is now Inverness Airport...

Tempest Wednesday

 Hawker Tempest Tempest Mk.II MW763/G-TEMT was airborne this morning over Duxford. Very distracting as I was sat in my portakabin trying to work!!!
Later after a bit of a rub down she was towed back into H2...
