Still working that one out Col! Needless to say it'll be aircraft that would commonly be seen at Duxford.
-
If I could also have a solo slot, that would be great!

Count me in!
Fen, formation pair?
-
Have a great Birthday guys!
And may you have many more happy landings.

I actually feel bad now about openly being slightly disappointed at their 3 spit routine this year. This video just highlights how much work goes into formation flying, let alone formation aeros!
Come on chaps, lets put a team together like we said. I'm happy to fly Wing!

Don't get me wrong mate, the beau is a beau for sure! But they've had such trouble sourcing powerplants etc, I just think perhaps it should move on to somewhere or someone who'll finish the job (if they can!). It's so close, yet so far.
Maybe your mate Kermit should snap it up?!
*runs for cover...!*

Droooooooool

Mosquito please! Sell the Beaufighter if they must. I wanna hear two merlins in close proximity
)Although it's a shame to see Snafu go, it is exciting to think what else could be round the corner. TFC should be praised for bringing such variety to these shores over the last quarter century or so.
-
Quite possibly mate, although I have Shoreham and MotoGP the weekend before so funds may be stretched!!
Oh, did you hear Snafu is rumoured sold and to head across the pond?

Well, what can I say... Another brilliant Flying Legends done and dusted!
Thanks to all the other Dogz for a spiffingly splendid weekend, it was a blast as usual.
Plenty of excellent warbirds took to the skies on what was probably the hottest weekend at Duxford I have witnessed in all my years of attending. I will leave it up to the pros to showcase the photos of the aircraft, but in the meantime a few random pictures from me...
Friday: Old Speckled Hen to welcome the arrival of the Dogz
Focus on the Joker: As it was Stephen Grey's last ever public display, I got up close and personal with his Bearcat.
The business end:
An unusual angle to a charismatic cat:
A neat package, the perfectly designed prop fighter?
Fenrir and I were accommodated in an appropriately numbered room:
The Dogz return to the hotel full of curry and Cobra:
Putting together his next 'dangerwood' blockbuster, Arjen Speilburg Lucas:
Tiring work, all this plane watching malarkey!
Many ice creams were consumed:
What ends a good story? A nice piece of ass:
-
Fenrir and I should be at DX by lunchtime tomorrow. Bring on the fun!

Hi all, just throwing an idea out there for a possilbe establishment to 'wet our whistles' on one of the nights (saturday probably?):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Eagle_Pub
I went there with the g/f back in March and it's a great place to sink some beers amongst friends in a historic place.
The highlght of course is the 'RAF Bar'...
-
Looks fantastic mate!
-
Looking forward to Moonbeam and Liz, not so sure on the thre spit horsemen, might be a bit tame.
P-38 is having engine work done, so may not make it I hear... boo hiss.
However, whatever turns up, it's gonna be brilliant i am sure! Great venue, beautiful aeroplanes, ale a plenty and great company, CAN NOT WAIT!
-
I'm in, been thinking about it for a while. Looks like a cracking line up too!
-
Stunning! Well captured mate, gutted I missed it
( -
I do hope she stays for leg-ends!
-
It's funny, I look back now and think how much I took the cats for granted. They were always kinda 'there' and I can't believe it's been 5 years since they were last airborne.
Excellent work tfc, looks like they are finally putting all the paperwork debacle behind them.
-
I noticed this on the key forums. How could they possibly get it wrong?!
I mean, it looks like a photo as well! I know Lee's Hope (the P-40F in background) had a few incorrect markings when it arrived, but I can't remember it extending to under side?
For clarification...
It should be:
=*= US ARMY
not:
ARMY US =*=

Never been a massive fan of the Dora, always preferred the look of the snub nosed BMW jobbies.
However, this does look pretty darn good fo' sho'!
-
That reminds me, I've not booked mine yet!
70 days to go...
-
AR213 looks sweeeeeeet!
Also, I think we should all protest at Legends that Princess Liz stays here. I suggest we chain Sweper to her, at least we'll know where he is!
-
Plenty of Jet Provosts and Strikemasters about Arthur. A handful of Vampires and Venoms, soon to be two Meteors and a few Gnats also airworthy.
I understand a Canberra will also return to the skies in the next year or so, and the Sea Vixen is currently being repaired after u/c collapse as Jabo alluded to.
Oh, lets not forget a fairly healthy population of Hunters, now that is one beautiful aircraft!
-
Unlikely I'm afraid Arthur!Legends operates a 'pistons only' policy which is somewhat of a shame. I'd like to see them extend the invite to classic jets too. Imagine a meteor, sabre, sea vixen and even a replica 262... OoooooThat said, one cannot complain when faced with a dozen spitfires...Sabre? Cor! Any chance of this appearing at Leg-ends in July?
Happy Birthday Jabo !
in Jim's Place
