Mustangs over Suffolk today.

11.35am. Just been flown over by 3 P.51 Mustangs east to west [to Little Gransden Airshow?] close formation with a Yak. 52. Probably Mr. Hammonds 2 machines, and Mr. Davies, I suspect. Lovely noise.

Lucky so and so - all I've seen is a C150 and had a Squirrel hovering overhead for about 5 mins - not sure why...!

I'm pretty lucky too. I don't live too far away, my wife works there on Airshow Days in the Friends of Duxford enclosure, [Teresa] serving teas and coffees, and we have a Staff Pass.Also, it has been medically proved that to overdose on the sound of Merlins and Griffons is not at all possible, and, in fact, enhances one's life immeasurably!!
