Hi Wurzel,

thanks for sharing :aok

No problem with the weather - warbirds looks great on a dark threatening sky, don't need a teletubby blue one everytime.

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

Nice Spits. 2 Spit Vs, 2 IXs and an XVI. I was lucky enough to get to Duxford for Legends in 2005 with a bunch of old Airwarrior friends. It's a great show.

I see the Beaufighter project has come on leaps and bounds since I was last there (2006 I think). She looks ready to fly... well nearly. :D

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)?

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.

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.
