Diggun Posted September 23, 2017 Posted September 23, 2017 S! Just made the transition from RoF (I know, late to both parties), and as soon as my track ir arrives I shall be filling your gunsights online. Anyone else at this airshow today? 6 Hurricanes in the sky at once! Two P-51's seemed to have a minor coming together. One came in to land very hot (and downwind) and when the other landed (also before it's display), it had a mark on it's prop when it shut down near me. Pilot got out and lots of teeth-sucking and head scratching ensued. Does anyone have any further info? Diggun.
Elem Posted September 23, 2017 Posted September 23, 2017 Yes that is quite a nasty ding to the prop.... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cambridgeshire-40553792 Ooops!

I got to playing Rise of Flight more seriously only after IL-2: BoS released. Great game. You'll find the transition over to the IL-2 series very easy and it's getting better and better all the time. A great time to jump in! Yes that is quite a nasty ding to the prop.... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cambridgeshire-40553792 Ooops! Different show I think? Today they had the Duxford Battle of Britain show. That forced landing happened back in July at the Flying Legends show. Apparently something similar happened?
Diggun Posted September 25, 2017 Author Posted September 25, 2017 Yeah different show. Saturdays was much less dramatic. Both landed safely and will be flying again soon hopefully. I must say that coming from RoF to BoX it is lovely to have a bit of power at my disposal. Plus not having to panic about ripping the wings off in every dive! 1

On the other hand, closure speed can be 1,000kph! No time even to panic..... anyway good too see another RoF veteran here.
AndyJWest Posted September 25, 2017 Posted September 25, 2017 Damage as a result of the Duxford P-51 collision. Still taken from video here. The collision is at about 10:30. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M29tkXQOAq8
Guest deleted@30725 Posted September 30, 2017 Posted September 30, 2017 I love duxford. Flying legends is such a treat to see so much ww2 stuff flying. I just wish we were all politically all best friends because I'd love to see more russian ww2 planes in the UK. See you in the skies.
