Some of the flying I saw at Duxford in the 80s springs to mind. I'll never forget the fantastic display flown by John Larcombe (tragically killed a few years later) during the official flying presentation of Blenheim G-MKIV in May 1987, following its lengthy restoration. It just appeared from the south, over the hill and broke to the west. The sound those Mercury engines made was fantastic. How were we to know we were to be heart broken when it crashed, in the hands of different pilot (thankfully with no serious injury to those on board) just three short weeks later?
