Crash Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 Planning to get there mid/late afternoon. (friday) EDIT: Give us a call when you're near Cambridge Dave, and I'll let you know where we are - either at the field or the hotel - Jabo Quote
DD_Arthur Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 Debrief thread already? Have I missed it? Did I drink much? Did I enjoy my curry? Did I get sun burnt? Do I have a case for sexual harassment against the Priory of St. Oleg? Post a picture of our luxury accommodation Jabo. Setting out at lunchtime tomorrow. Should be there around six-ish. Make mine a cold one. Quote
2. Administrators Jabo Posted July 11, 2013 Author 2. Administrators Posted July 11, 2013 It's a bit like colditz without the charm Arthur. Oh, and yes, yes, yes, yes & probably Quote
BluBear Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 Fenrir and I should be at DX by lunchtime tomorrow. Bring on the fun! Quote
DD_Arthur Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 Jabo, silly question but how many pictures did you take last year? I'm not bothering to bring a laptop but was wondering if I should bring my external on to download pics.? I can get 450 on my card and I'm bring a dvd camera too. And a silly hat. Quote
2. Administrators Jabo Posted July 11, 2013 Author 2. Administrators Posted July 11, 2013 Over 1000 Arthur, I can lend you a 32gb card if you need it. Just post it back when you're done Quote

1. DDz Quorum Friar Posted July 14, 2013 1. DDz Quorum Posted July 14, 2013 Just got home from a great weekend. Salute to all those that attended. Quote
1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted July 14, 2013 1. DDz Quorum Posted July 14, 2013 Yet again I got roped into some urgent work issues yesterday, I swear they do it on purpose and time it for Flying Legends weekend. Seems utterly crazy that I live just up the road yet am unable to make it and join you guys Quote
Eshark Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 Still here everyone gone feel a bit like billy mates,on the bright side did have a great piss up with my new found American friends David and Dennis they are a laugh,and had a great time at the show with the DDs Quote
1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted July 15, 2013 1. DDz Quorum Posted July 15, 2013 lol... Dave and Danny ... yeah, véry special to meet them... Quote
BluBear Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 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: Quote
DD_Arthur Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 Duxford 2013? Phew, wot a scorcher!!! Saturday; Nice looking car infront Col, love the plate ; ) Quote
DD_Arthur Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 Last lot....honestly! Jaunty angle or what ! FT my mum said you were a good looking chap LOL KEV ...... "Now that is a bloody formation !" Thank you to everyone who attended for making it a great memorable occasion and a special thanks to Friar for organising the room and putting up with my snoring and babbling in general. Jabo for the very interesting guided tour of the British hanger, buying me a Pimms and ice which just hit that spot as the temperatures soared into the ninties and the very handy loan of one of his telephoto lenses. Not to forget Artie and FT for their generosity. EDIT: Sorry for the added comments Arthur , I could'nt resist, hope you don't mind : ) We all agreed that you have an excellent eye for a pic BTW. P. Quote
1. DDz Quorum Friar Posted July 17, 2013 1. DDz Quorum Posted July 17, 2013 My pleasure Arthur Excellent pictures by the way Quote
2. Administrators Jabo Posted July 17, 2013 Author 2. Administrators Posted July 17, 2013 So that's (nearly) that for another Flying Legends, the toys have been put away and various Dogz have wound their way home to all corners of our scepter'd isle. Some of the highlights for me? Stephen Grey's last performances in the Bearcat, Horsemen, 2 Gladiators, Spitfire and Buchon tailchase and many many more. There are pictures coming, but it's too hot here to start messing around with them now, I'll post some up later. Thanks to everyone who turned up for making this one of the best Legends yet and for those who couldn't, well, roll on next year. Jabo Quote
