July 8, 20206 yr comment_61147 Three years ago today I landed in Duxford for Flying Legends 2017. I actually arrived a day early to check out the museum, which has an incredible collection of WW2 birds. I even got to sit in the cockpit section of a Bristol Blenheim - was that a tight fit (I am not a big lad by any stretch of the imagination)! I took some pictures along the way, thought I'd share them here for your viewing enjoyment. Please excuse the subpar quality, I'm not a very good photographer... I resized them to 50% of the original size so the upload time is manageable, the internet here is a stinking pile of horse manure. Anyway, enjoy! Day 1: Report

July 8, 20206 yr Author comment_61165 This was by far the best airshow I've ever been to, plus the museum is world class. Glad you enjoyed the pictures! Report

July 10, 20206 yr Author comment_61196 That's a different event mate, Duxford hosts several shows every year. When I bought my tickets to FL2020 there was no prize lottery... And I'd give A LOT to be able to fly in a 2-seater warbird. Report
