No Bf-109's at the airshow?

They would not be so popular in British air space, would they? ;)

I saw the flying 109G in Berlin in ILA-06 and later that year in Duxford a Bouchon "109" -version. You can guess which one was more impressive  :rolleyes:

If you want to see a 109, you are more likely see it in Germany or in France. However, the overall WW2 show in Duxford is simply something unbelievable  :O  :aok

They would be very popular - well, at least until they started to vulch all the lined-up spits...

2 Hours in my car to the German border, and less than that in a plane to Heathrow - maybe I should keep an eye on upcoming events.

Perk the F8F!!!! :D :lol

Tremendous day out.  Sitting at airport for the flight home now.  Will find a few shots to post when I get there.

The Bearcat's performance was astounding and it was in pretty lofty company remember.
Anybody like to hazard a guess as to which aircraft demonstrated next best performance (after daylight which was in second place to the F8F)?

User warning:
Answers are subjective and your personal airshow experience may differ to the advertised product!  ;)
Well, given enough time to work it all out, wing loadings, Size of engine etc, plus factoring in the sheer joy of flying, the Yak 3 would eat every other plane there. Now a P61 may give a Yak3 a run for its money but...after all is said a done, Yak 3's are the shiznit.

Nope, thats a restored combat vet P39 not a 63.


OH okay, I know they just finished restoring a P-63, just didn't know what it looked like. IIRC, it looked kinda like that. Or atleast very dark coloured.
