Part II























The flying display was opened with the sight and sound of a Typhoon
in an unfamiliar but pleasing paint job...
























Some nice displays today but a frustrating one photographically - too many blurred shots. Going to have to figure out where I am going wrong

Duxford :: 23.V.15 :: VE Anniversary Airshow

Some initial shots from today.

Duxford :: 20.V.15 :: Airshow getting close...

"Sharky" was putting on some great routines...

Off up again.


T-33 now in Airspace...

…one end of which is getting snug.

B-25 in the 'spray booth'.

B-29 awaiting reinsertion into the AAM

Mustang IV KH774 GA-S (44-11602) No.112 Sqdn RAF - "SharkMouth"

Duxford :: 13.V.15 :: Yippee!

A sunny day at Duxford and some good photo opportunities with the contents of the American Air Museum gradually getting relocated.
I finally got to see the "Sharkmouth" Mustang IV KH774 GA-S (44-11602) No.112 Sqdn RAF, (formerly 44-73877 N167F "Old Crow") and a cracking display was put on - I'd hung around after taking some shots of the B-52, so my patience was rewarded!!

Nieuport 17
Hawk 75 - soon to be joined by a shiny Curtis P-36...

Star Wars Day Duxford...

…May the fourth be with you…

Swung by Duxford today on a whim and in an attempt to catch the new residents of Airspace before it gets too crowded in there…

Almost a full side on view of the SR71...

The pointy end.

























D-FLAK went up later for a couple of passes then departed area

"Miss Pick Up" did a couple of passes before landing

Unexpected display by one of the North Weald Gnats...

…brought back memories of the type in use by the Red Arrows









































































And a wander up to the AAM allowed an unobstructed view of the residents awaiting relocation - just the removal of the glass and mullions changes the whole aspect of the building...
