A lot of the Spits & Hurricanes that flew for yesterday's tibute
to Battle of Britain day, ended up at Duxford, Cambridgeshire, for
the largest WW2 airshow in the UK, held this coming weekend.
My guess is abit like the Goodwood Revival in 2013 for GT40's,
this will be an unprecedented show of Spits & Hurricanes.
I guess we will have to check Utube next week.
I am down at my Parent's and guided Dad out into the garden
( walking sticks in both hands ) so he could see them circling overhead to land.
Due to acute deafness ( probably due to manning 4 x guns in rear turrets )
he was unable to savour the noise of 4 Merlins that accompanied him too many times .
Still, he enjoyed the sight and reminisced about being the Project Engineer / Manager for the Imperial War Museum in charge of bringing Duxford back to a working facility back in the late 1970's. As i recall, his close colleague went on to oversee the project to bring the Vulcan back into the air. Sadly, as old age has taken it's toll, he can't recall the name.
If the weather allows, i will sit him out in the garden with a pot of tea and let him watch as the old warbirds circle for their display.
