Here's my first contribution: Three Kestrels at Duxford, a 2'20 Video of what was a highlight of the show to me!
@gec: Thanks m8, it was a bit of a trip, but driving a French car (Citroen Xantia) over the 'Peage' motorways in France @130km/hr, on the Cruise Control is much like flying, the miles and miles kinda fly past... but getting into Belgium (had a big dip just before Antwerp, a cup of black coffee fixed that) at rush hour is no good, and in Holland trying to avoid a traffic jam, taking a bypass route that many others took does not help in making good progress at all! In the end, the rule of '2 hours drive, 15 minutes break' is a very good one!

Mission complete!
I got home at about 20:00 local time.
My debrief In short: Fabulous! Amazing! Brilliant!
It all was!
Have started working on gathering video and images, to try and make something out of it ...

Pictures created using a webcam, at night, at the hotel 'La Rosiere'.

"I SAT IN A SPITFIRE LAST WEEK. HAVE I TOLD YOU ABOUT THAT YET?"
That's JP. He's still with us. Despite the two Mirages over Point du Hoc hunting him down, despite the Chinook over the big guns at Longues sur Mer.

This is Painless's Spit, the one he sat in.
He went missing for a while during the show... did he really?

Important note here: FT is only the messenger here, the flightshow pics are from Roger!
Some other images I got from connected camera's, or shared memory sticks, some I took with the webcam....

Back at the Red Lion

Inside the Romainian hangar, listening to the guy that runs the shop there ('shop' being something called the 'Aircraft Restoration Company, Duxford', never heard of that, it seems that guy's been publishing articles in some magazine, and he's been working on some book in 9 volumes.) Col Pope is his name.

JP sat in it too!
(No real pic, photographers did not have a USB cable to hook the cam up to the pc!)

Will do a group pictue Ovy, well, that is if they show up before my laptop is out of power that is....
At 12:06 a Corsair flew past, too high for a picture (crappy camera:-)
-
Some guests have arrived at 11:15.... Five Germans.
Wasn't prepared for that, so no pictures ...
-
The Red Lion, at 10:00 AM, sunny (kinda) but lonely (kinda)
Spotted so far: P40, P51 (roaring overhead!)
Wasn't prepared for that, so no pictures ...

Think it's fuel related...

Can bring a Creative Labs 5.1 speakerset to Duxford.
(ie. the Red Lion, or anywhere else where I may park my car, I'm not gonna carry it around!)
I think it's the 5100 model. One will need a 5.1 sound card to operate it.
Free, for anyone to come and pick it up there.
Just holler between now and about 24hrs from now, as that's when I'll be leaving to Duxford!

Sure, me editing the video and redo it with a different codec?
(I used the Intel Indeo 4.5 Codec.)
