Duxford statics 1

[Hagar]

I just heard on the grapevine that our old chum Tempest didn't make it to Duxford - again. That's too bad & means it's now up to Charlie & me to keep this show on the road.
I didn't do too well with the action stuff but had more luck with the ones on the ground. To start with here's some rather nice Spitfires I took specially for Ozzy. Not exactly static shots as they were moving at the time.










Charlie. If you have more static shots please post them.

Thanks

Ps. Roger is going to be mighty peeved that he missed all those Griffon engined Spits

Charlie. If you have more static shots please post them.

Duxford really looks like a Spitfire heaven! Ozzy, what are you doing in Hungary man?  ;)

[FLYING_TRUCKER]

Wonderful shots Doug

Keep them coming.

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

[Ben_M_K]

Very nice Doug!  ;D

Sadly events conspired against me this weekend and so I was unable to go to Duxford. Still, I have all your superb shots to keep me going until next year. Magic stuff Hagar.

And there was Ozzy...hitching a ride on the tail of a Spitfire!  You seriously didn't think they would spot you in that, err, camouflage?;D

[Wing Nut]

How much do I have to pay to be that guy sitting on the tail of that plane?  ;D

Must be a "Friends of the Fighter Collection" promo thing for their members, seeing as none of the other Spits from other owners took passengers for the taxi down to the hold...

It's possible although I've noticed that some pilots are more particular about this than others. They were taxying downwind with a strong tailwind at the time & it would be so easy to stand the aircraft on its nose. Note my last 2 shots when the same aircraft was turning crosswind. Now you see him ... now you don't.

I was joking Doug . Forgive my weird sense of humour(?):-/. But seriously, you could get 4, maybe six people on that tail, 30 quid a time, hey presto , they'd've (is that a word?) made

Weird sense of humour? You have a long way to go to catch me. I've got a few years start on you. I was brought up on the Goon Show which explains a lot

True. Which reminds me - I must go and listen to the Ying Tong Song. Classic
