Vila Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Gec and I came home two hours ago. Safely. From Duxford to airport, everybody drove in wrong direction...again, all cars had steering wheel on wrong side...again... Mad Brits!!!! Anyway, I had a time of my life during last three days. The DD crew over there is really something. Everything, I mean everything was perfect. Laughter that we had, Show by it self, thunderstorm of engines, air maneuvers, pools of beer, Bulgarian waitress, bunch of drunken Germans, guys from RAF with British version of "Lillie Marlen", debate is Painless human or does he in fact belongs to still uncovered category, pricks from 69th GIAP... Gec, Jabo, Friar, Painless, Sid, Knight, OT, Sged, Crash...A huge THANK YOU for everything m8s!!!!!! It was fantastic!!!!! P.S. Sid m8, I'll get sick if you don't tell me WHAT TO HELL DID YOU DO TO YOUR WIFE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2. Administrators Jabo Posted July 12, 2009 Author 2. Administrators Share Posted July 12, 2009 FW190 and Buchon Early on in the show, the conditions were atrocious. First up were the Spits (4 Merlin, 2 Griffon), the Buchon and the new-build Flug Werke 190 - both sporting swastikas which provoked some comment. There were actually two FW190s at the show, but only one has a C of A These have been cropped and PhotoShopped to try and bring out some detail from the murk. I'm not even good with PS, but hopefully these are OK Jabo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
