Sally B tribute...
To mark her formation flypast with a KC-135 of the 100th ARW at this weekends airshow, B-17 Sally B had the 'White Square D' tail code applied for the 100th BG, "The Bloody Hundredth"...
I think it looks just right and hope they keep it on for a while.
Nice little flypast - BBMF Dak ZA947
The distant thrum of radials had me drop my lunch and rush outside...
ZA947 was circling my village prior to it's display slot at Duxford.
Cheers chaps 👍👏

Douglas C-41A "Hap-Penstance"
Douglas C-41A (N341A) was a short notice stand-in for the photo shoot at Duxford this evening. As it is the 70th anniversary of my first flight in a Silver City Airways C-47 from Lydd in Kent to Wick in Caithness I jumped at the chance to have a look inside...
I suspect that the level of comfort is above that of the C-47 we flew in back in 1956!...
Pre Airshow Weekend Wednesday...
Some shots from the airfield today...
Seeing the Red Bull fleet parked up awaiting the weekend was a bonus - not sure when I last saw Nooky Booky IV but it was before she was added to the RB'ers...
Back to a Wednesday wander...
Grey sky but a warm day, so roof down for my lunch break then a quick stroll down to "Area 51" catching PT462 taxiing back to 'base' after landing...
Tidy looking Diamond DA62 parked on the jetpan today flying in from Lelystad...
