A general question regarding Duxford as an airfield. Does Duxford operate like any local airfield i.e. you can base your aircraft out of there? I always thought the airfield was just to facilitate the museum and the operations based therein?
See my earlier post about the accident aircraft being based at Duxford.
While many of the based aircraft are connected to the museum and restoration activities, residents also include a number of assorted Cessnas, Pipers, etc.
