Summer Air Show: D-Day 80 - 1st & 2nd June 2024

[Captain Haddock]

Saw the display schedule printed in the program (£10), but due to the cancellations and changes I would say it have no relation to what will happen over the weekend. It says the Rafale is on at 1300 both days. Sorry that's all I know.

I'm at North Weald today, one of the DC-3s, That's all brother, has moved to a hangar.
Possibly off the list today ?

EDIT 16.00:
Just spoke to an aero legends person, That's all brother had a break issue, but has been fixed.

Not too long home and I am exhausted.

It was a very good weekend. Saturday was out of Duxford's control, weather can't be blamed on IWM. It was disappointing but I still enjoyed what I saw flying.

Sunday was fantastic. I think everything that was due to fly did? Incredible display from the DC6, Rafale was very good but just not on par with last year. Rich Goodwin and the Wingwalkers as always put on great displays.

Loved the 4 ship 2x Spitfire, P47 and Wildcat formation. Same with P51, Spitfire & Blenhiem. That's what I love about Duxford, unique formations you rarely see anywhere else.

The explosions during the Cub's part of the show were very off on Saturday, maybe 5/10 seconds? I'm guessing weather caused issues on this one. Enjoyable display though.

I enjoyed Team Raven, but did find myself tuning out a lot during the Saturday display, really enjoyed their Sunday display.

Only real disappointment (aside from weather) was the Dakota's didn't work out the way it was planned on either day. I got into Duxford around 11.30am on the Sunday only to hear them taking off as my ticket was being scanned. Thought I had missed the flypast. I thought the 3 returning to close the show on the Sunday would have at least did a flypast but were straight in to land. Oh well, still a very enjoyable weekend overall.

Did anybody manage to get the Red Arrows Serial numbers?
