BluBear Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 ~S!~ Fellow aeroplane admiring chums! A few of us Dogz are interested in going to the Autumn show at Duxford on 16th October, which this year commemorates the Korean war. For those of you that haven't been before, it's the last chance to get a warbird fix before they're all tucked up for the winter and the Autumnal light adds a different dimension for those photographers amongst us. Of course the weather can be cold/wet etc but we'd have to judge that the day before like any other show of the year. Fenrir and I have attended some cracking Autumn shows in the past and the line-up this year looks rather tasty too (see below). I believe this will be Mitch Beulen's last display as award winning F-16 demo pilot, one of the best solo fighter displays i've seen. Also, hmmm Sea Furies, Meteor and Sabre!

DD_Bongodriver Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 I just found out that through a connection I could get admitance for 5 in a car in for free, but I am on duty......I will see what I can do. Quote
Sweper Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 I really wish I could attend. Bongo, you don´t have a scheduled flight to Sweden? If so, there is an airfield just close to where I live! Quote

Crash Posted September 25, 2011 Posted September 25, 2011 Looks like it might be a good turn out!! You might like to get a polo or T shirt from Jabo Enterprises I think that uniform is compulsory at airshows Quote
BluBear Posted September 25, 2011 Author Posted September 25, 2011 I may be in the process of securing my time off on the day, if so I will work on getting those free tickets sorted. You Sir, are worthy of the finest bone marrow treat known to any Dog! Quote

Flyboy583 Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 Bluebear, You have no idea how upset I was when at the last minute things changed at work and I found myself agreeing to this trip It pays the bills so had to go!! From what it sounds I missed out hugely!! Glad you all liked it and please post some photos.... Quote
2. Administrators Jabo Posted October 17, 2011 2. Administrators Posted October 17, 2011 So due to my main lens going U/S as the show started, there's not many of the show which is a pity...Here's a few shot with my wide angle lens so in some cases are cropped.
