Thanks for the above - just counted 14 Daks from the back road

[Mike]

N341A has just departed Inverness and heading south.

Not impressed that having booked tickets for Sunday, that 8 of them will be away at Shuttleworth. Hopefully they return at a good time so I can get some landing shots.

[slogen51]

8? Daks expected in old Warden at 3pm apparently

(Saw a camo DC-3 with D-Day stripes on approach to Duxford at about 12:30)

[ninyule]

Sunday the 2nd is a 'normal' day for Duxford, with arrivals coming in from Europe, but otherwise not an official Daks day. To be fair, they have made that clear on their website.

The official bookable, payable Daks events are the 4th and 5th.

It's unfortunate that many will miss out because of work commitments, but that's the way the calendar has fallen...

N341A has just departed Inverness and heading south.

This is now on approach to Coventry

[ninyule]

What method are you guys using to track the aircraft?? I can't get anything using FR24, FlightAware, ADSBExchange or 360Radar!

Is there a search function with the latter two??

A couple of days ago the used the standard air to ground for Duxford 122.075 and Farnborough LARS 132.8 on their routing down to the south coast.
Also worth using 132.9, this is the frequency that Duxford use on airshow days.
