Definitely a worthwhile visit, despite the weather! I love the tail marking on the Stratotanker!

Re: Road base exercise Baana 23 with RAF Typhoons etc.
Absolutely awesome set! Really difficult to pick a favourite, but I'm really drawn to the nose-on turning F-35.

Re: Duxford Battle of Britain Airshow 2023 - 16th & 17th September
I really want to see the heavy bomber formation, so I made a last-minute decision to head to the Community Centre today, but due to family commitments I will need to leave before the end of the show. I may return tomorrow if the forecast continues to be for a dry day, but it seems to change by the h...

Re: Duxford Battle of Britain Airshow 2023 - 16th & 17th September
According to a post on UKAR, it seems that the heavy bomber formation will only take place today, based on timings from the BBMF website. The Met Office forecast for tomorrow has also deteriorated somewhat.

Re: Duxford Battle of Britain Airshow 2023 - 16th & 17th September
Thanks again, Andy. That's really helpful!
I note an earlier start to the show than usual, so I will probably aim to park around 1030.
The Met Office forecast for Sunday is presently dry and cloudy until 2200, which I can live with!

Re: Duxford Battle of Britain Airshow 2023 - 16th & 17th September
You can't normally go on the field between the M11 and Hunts road which is the road into Duxford and the school but the field opposite the school entrance is now a park and nature reserve so you can go in there, I usually go to the far side of it and through onto the hedge line on the edge of that ...

Re: Farewell, Old Friend.
Thanks for sharing these, nice shots. But watching the BBC News at lunchtime today, there was a report from Brize Norton about the Flypast over London this coming Saturday. The impression I get us that there could be a C-130, maybe more than one, involved in that. It seems to be to make up for the ...

Re: Old Warden- The Shuttleworth Collection Special Ops 20th of May 2023
Lovely shots from what looked like a great show in gorgeous weather.
I haven't been to Old Warden this year, being at Duxford and then Abingdon for the first shows.
Thanks for sharing!
