LLv34_Flanker Posted June 20, 2018 Posted June 20, 2018 S! Just got the trip booked and set, for the first time going to Duxford in September with colleagues and friends. Can't wait to see all those planes and the whole show. How many others are going? Would be great to meet the faces behind the forum posts :) Anyways, eagerly waiting for this trip!
Diggun Posted June 20, 2018 Posted June 20, 2018 I'll be there - just up the road from me! Also going to Flying Legends next month
LLv34_Flanker Posted June 20, 2018 Author Posted June 20, 2018 S! @Diggun We got rooms from a hotel in Cambridge :) A local guide would be great :D
DD_fruitbat Posted June 27, 2018 Posted June 27, 2018 I'll be there, as will a selection of other dangerdogz. Always a great show.
No.85_Camm Posted June 28, 2018 Posted June 28, 2018 I'll be there..I'll also be at the Flying Legends in July
LLv34_Flanker Posted June 28, 2018 Author Posted June 28, 2018 S! Would be great to meet and greet :) Arriving to UK on friday morning 21st of September. Plans are to go to Hendon/Imperial War Museum before heading up to Cambridge. After that all ears. Diggun has kindly offered to show us around Cambridge :)
III/JG53Frankyboy Posted July 12, 2018 Posted July 12, 2018 sitting here at Frankfurt Airport waiting for my flight to Stansted. Whole weekend at the Flying Legends show.
Diggun Posted July 12, 2018 Posted July 12, 2018 (edited) It'll be busy and we'll all be staring straight up, but if you see anyone looking like this: Then say hello! Top tip: best viewing is had on the right hand end of the flightline, on the embankment next to the Land Warfare Hall. Isn't this all exciting! Edited July 12, 2018 by Diggun
III/JG53Frankyboy Posted July 12, 2018 Posted July 12, 2018 hell ,yes - its the second time for me. I had it to do at the RAFs 100th anniversary
Diggun Posted July 12, 2018 Posted July 12, 2018 Predictions : these two will not fly. They are on the programme every year and they always have some kind of issue. If this fly I will be very surprised. Often promised, but I've never seen it. There will be an issue involving a p51. Its traditional. There will be precisely 1 (one) mad old man wandering around in a nazi uniform with the swastikas removed, pissing everyone off. MH434 will steal the show. Again, tradition. It's going to be bloody hot, so alternate your beer and water and for gods sake use sunscreen. I'm pumped and I have been going to this since I was like 5!
III/JG53Frankyboy Posted July 12, 2018 Posted July 12, 2018 i had a great dinner in the Hotel Du Vin& Bistro in Camebridge: snails, steak, creme brullet and some glasses of whine. I am looking forward to the next days, and for the airshow: i will wear a white long arm shirt and a white hat - the weather forecast is Wow, sunny to saythe least .

Zoo museum, twi weeks ago i was in a Zoological museum in Frankfurt with my 6 year ild daugther, so will skip that . After a walk through the City, buying a Kid present 8very important, it became a Paddington Bear), we propably will a OpOnHopOff tour and than a River tour - tourists as we are ?
III/JG53Frankyboy Posted July 14, 2018 Posted July 14, 2018 (edited) great show, and the Curtis Fighters were in the Air. The F-35 was amazingly loud ? We realy missed the sound of a DB601/605. Edited July 14, 2018 by III/JG53Frankyboy
=362nd_FS=Hiromachi Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 Been there, saw it and heard it. For the first time. I really enjoyed it and Im quite sure Ill be there next year as well. Nothing quite like it on this side of the channel and next similar thing is on the other side of the pond. Individual displays were great but seeing Balbo is a different thing:
ITAF_Rani Posted July 21, 2018 Posted July 21, 2018 I was there first time in 2012 and also last year...it is always a great show for WW2 planes lovers... Maybe next year I hope to attend the show again.. Jason put there a stand.. Flying Legends a great place where share the voice about IL2 GB !!
-332FG-Gordon200 Posted July 23, 2018 Posted July 23, 2018 A friend just returned from a week in the UK. He sent this one pic and promises more to follow once he's recovered.
Guest deleted@30725 Posted July 28, 2018 Posted July 28, 2018 I went there a couple of years ago.

Jason put there a stand.. Flying Legends a great place where share the voice about IL2 GB !! Last time I was there was when the 109 Red 7 was there and DCS had a stand in one of the hangars. Not surprising as one of their mustangs is based on one at duxford that flies most shows and DCS works with the fighter collection. Don't know whether you could have two competing flight sims demonstrating in the same show.
