Duxford pics

[ian elliot]

just a HU to anyone i know in this forum---

Just a few from the Duxford june flying day, there are a lot of movements in the Aerospace hall, some disposals, air-frames going to other museums and collections, and some repositioning of other's, including some that where hanging from the roof The Canberra and Mosquito where hanging but are now on the ground. Some older airliners have been moved outside, which im a little worried about including a nicely restored Avro York ( no pics im afraid ) which already is getting rain damage. I dont take as many as i used to but hope you enjoy
cheers ian

Great photos Ian. Thanks. I do wish they would put the York back inside though.

The Avro York has been kicked out because it doesn't belong to IWM.
All the old airliners there are on borrowed time as the IWM no longer wants the Duxford Aviation Society airframes

Cheers Ian.

I do wish though that they'd put the "big rudder" back on ML417,but the ex-Sidney Cotton Electra(G-AFTL) is an absolute beauty,Air Leasing have done a top quality job on it's restoration.

Wow, thanks for sharing.
Here in South Africa, we have no decent warbirds at all. Nothing, nada!

If anyone's interested, there's some pics of Cosford from a few days back

Cosford visit

Swung by RAF Cosford reserve collection on the way back from camping in Wales. Ive posted a few pics before in the past, but thought i'd concentrate on the Cold War Hanger esp the air-frame's suspended from the ceiling. Also included a shot of their post war Tempest, a very nice restoration...
