Due to the move to mainly VR games (so I dont need a large 4K monitor) and the photo programs now using Graphics card I have re arranged my man cave The main problem is to play 1946 or CloD I need to set up the small monitor to mirror the large one each itme I play. It isnt too much trouble so its not too bad.

I will also be at Duxford for the entire 4 days, Blubear and Fenrir know where to find me.

I have not booked it yet but I did find a room to rent in Cambridge for Monday-Thursday so I could attend both days. It looks like there is a shuttle running from Cambridge to the event every half hour.

I'm tempted to go on Wednesday, just trying to see if I can wangle it with work!

That sounds great, I will look for a hotel room in the area for Tuesday through Wednesday nights. I might not make the show on Tuesday but definitely looks good for Wednesday.

Crash, Fen and I are at Duxford next week (Tuesday for Dave, Wednesday for Tom and both days for me). If you're coming then, you'll need to book a ticket online before arriving (https://www.iwm.org.uk/)- the D-Day 75th Anniversary flypast of DC-3s and fighters over Normandy is departing from Duxford on Wednesday - hopefully 38 Daks will be taking part (There's 13 on the ground there as I write this) If you're into Armor, then the Tank Museum at Bovington is worth a visit too.

There's plenty to see down in the South East as well for free or a reasonable fee, i'd recommend: The Kent Battle of Britain Museum at Hawkinge on the sight of the former RAF BofB airfield The nearby BofB memorial and 'Wing' experience at Capel le Ferne with a spectacular view out from the white cliffs Manston's Spitfire and Hurricane museum and neighbouring RAF History Museum Honourable mention to the de Havilland Museum in Hatfield, home of the Mosquito with three complete examples including the prototype. If you can stretch to it, a tour of the Biggin Hill Heritage Hangar is excellent, the most (airworthy) Spitfires under one roof in the world I think... There are quite a few other smaller museums and collections dotted around as well, Brenzett, Shoreham, Headcorn etc. Fenrir and I are Kent residents, so feel free to drop us a DM if you require any assistance!

The Science Museum is also very good as is the Natural History which is next door.

Duxford RAF museum Cosford & the London one in Hendon. HMS Belfast on the Thames. The weather is suposed to get better next week
