RAF Duxford - Flying Legends 2015

Posted a few pictures from this year's Flying Legends Event. 3 of my good friends and I went on a bucket list trip over the England for this event. Awesome trip. Spent 6 full days of our 9 day trip at Duxford. Stayed in Cambridge, hung out occasionally at the Eagle Pub - RAF Bar and spent a day at the RAF Hendon Museum. Warbird Mecca. Highlights for me included 11 spitfires beating up the airfield at once and a formation demo by the only flying Blenheim, 3 or the 4 remaining airworthy MK1 Spits and a Hurricane.

To be at a Battle of Britain airfield, 75 years to the day that the Battle of Britain began with great friends was so great!

Would have been killer, being there for the 75th! At least I was working on a Hurricane! lol

Cant take credit for the videos, borrowed from Youtube.

Well, second chance in September! ...... need to win some money.

Sep 19&20 as they are hosting:
http://www.iwm.org.uk/events/iwm-dux...rsary-air-show

by my count in the aircraft list so far, I see 21 Spits and 5 Hurricanes with a couple of 109's

..... and the red Arrows on Sunday ......if you into jets, because as everyone knows, jets are for kids. hehe

Yep! Jets are for kids. Really planes use Merlins (or really big radials)!
