Puma farewell tour at Duxford , 27-03-2025

Post by andygolfer » Fri Mar 28, 2025 10:55 am

A few of mine from Duxford as the Pumas flew through as part of their 'Thankyou' tour. One was showing ' Thankyou as it's call sign!).
A couple of the formation to start with...

It will seem strange not seeing them flying any more, remember them from way back in my youth.
Thanks for looking C&C welcome

Thanks for the comments guys.
I couldn't get all three in my shot when they were side on Pete so I just hoped for getting light on them as rhey were going away. The second worked better than the first (in my opinion anyway!)

Well caught Andy. I was there too but none of mine are that great. Your individuals are nice and clear. Nice to see them though. Another retirement to make us feel our age.
