Alpha Delta 210

Wow, that looks amazingly realistic!

I think that you have nailed the weathering! Great looking F-14.

Thanks very much, Jonny. Sorry that you couldn't make it, you missed a really good show. Fingers are well and truly crossed for the remaining Flying Days!

Thanks very much, Parabat. You picked two of my favourites as well!

Thanks for all the kind words, chaps. Here are a few more: Rare Concorde nose droop! Tiger 9 Aeronautical Display Team pilots Tiger 9 Aeronautical Display Team walking their display Tiger 9 Aeronautical Display Team Thanks for looking.

Thanks for the kind words Parabat. The Typhoon is growing on me! I will aim to post some more pictures this evening. Thanks Paul. I had an excellent day and the smaller crowd made for a more relaxing experience! That size crowd is probably not sustainable in terms of income moving forward, though. The original restrictions were relaxed when lockdown was eased on July 27th, allowing free movement across the whole site. No one checked my vaccination status, despite it being a condition of entry. It's a bit of a Marmite scheme, but I'm sure one of the decal companies will oblige! Thanks for the kind words Colin. The US fighters with the B-17 were my favourite, or was it the three Spitfire MkIa beauties..... Ha ha. Thanks SAT69. Thanks Mark. I'm think the "Global Britain" Voyager and A321 probably paved the way for the less than subtle Typhoon scheme! Thanks for the kind words Stephen. I'm pleased you enjoyed them.

Thanks Parabat. That Mustang is a beauty and not seen too often. Thanks Paul. There's a history of the Mustang here: http://www.mustangsmustangs.com/p-51/survivors/serial/44-74391 Thanks SAT69. I must confess that I'm a Thunderbolt fan and too many, many more shots during the flighline walk at the air show proper yesterday!

Hello again I had a wonderful time at Duxford today. There were a few showers in the morning, but the threatened thunder storms didn't materialise and the sun even made an appearance! Here are a few favourites and I will post more if anyone is interested. "Little & Large" (Full-size Extra 300 and RC scale model Extra 300) Thanks for looking.

It's gorgeous here now! I've had to put on a hat! Thanks for the kind words Houston. I'm pleased that you enjoyed them. I'm just waiting for the "NHS Spitfire" and MH434 to run in for their display.

Agreed, Chris. There was no pedestrian queue through the visitor centre, but now I'm on the airfield, there is a reasonable number of visitors. Perhaps creating three car parks that guests can select removes the desire for people to arrive early (along with the grim forecast earlier on the week.) There have been several showers so far, but nothing the hardy Brit can't cope with!

Thanks Mark, aside from the excuses regarding the tricky light for photography at Duxford, I enjoyed my day. That said, it seems from posts on another forum, that there was more action after I left! I've arrived in a nearly empty car park at Duxford for the show. Only a handful of cars have arrived since I parked 90 minutes ago.

Hi Colin. Thanks very much for the kind words. It was wonderful to be back at Duxford, but the light was as challenging as ever!

I saw that the RAF were trying to encourage people to stay away. Was it busy?

Thanks Pete. I'm pleased that you enjoyed them.

Hello everyone I spent the day at Duxford hoping for lots of action before the Summer Air Show tomorrow. BBMF Lancaster still in the ARCo hangar Airspeed Ambassador Thanks for looking. I'm returning tomorrow, crossing everything that the weather forecast improves!
