Firefly 516 Report post Posted July 8 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!

Firefly 516 Report post Posted July 8 This was by far the best airshow I've ever been to, plus the museum is world class. Glad you enjoyed the pictures! 1 Lipfert reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had the tickets booked for this year's show, but it'd been cancelled for obvious reasons. My uncle and I are heading there next year, hope the pandemic subsides by then. 1 =GenMarkof007= reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Firefly 516 Report post Posted July 10 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
