Duxford VE Day show (Sunday) - pics!

[Man-on-the-fence]

Weather you went or weather you didn’t it was a great show at Duxford this Sunday. Thunderstorms, hail, bright sunshine we had it all.

Highlight for me, the Vacher Hurricane. Magnificent.
In no particular order.

Hey Nick,
Just outstanding shots, utterly brilliant.
It certainly was a good show. I was there on both days and had a great time. Lets hope that Duxford don't look at it as another reason/excuse to put the entrance prices up tho'!!

Well done again with the photos.
kind regards
TSM

Wow! Fantastic pics Nick!

Clearly more aircraft airborne on Sunday than we had on Saturday, and we discovered just how useful the Vulcan can be as an umbrella! But a cracking display in tricky conditions!

Oh! And if a certain PPRuNer contrives to fly the MS.505 (or whatever brand of Storch it is) any slower into wind - pehaps gale would be more appropriate - he may find himself banished to the Rotorheads forum! ;) What was your groundspeed Zlin? From my hiding place in the lee of the Tin Triangle, it looked to be little more than a fast walking pace!

TSM, I may well be wrong but I think I've paid about the same entrance fee for Duxford shows for several years...

Looking forward to Legends...

Golly Nick! You have posted a few good pics in the past but the standard of that group is remarkable.

Congratulations - as well as thank you.

Thanks very much Gentlemen. It means a great deal that you appreciate my work.

There are more in preparation, I will post them later this evening hopefully.

I was sorry to miss your talk at the OAG meeting the other week, it is just round the corner from me and I know Colin quite well. Unfortunately (or should that be fortunately for me) I had an appointment with lots of old aircraft that week.
Maybe next time.

As promised
The final few.
