News from Hangar Number 2
Lots of fantastic pictures on all the aircraft forums with excellent pictures of our aircraft – we thought you might enjoy a reminder about those who were up and about extremely early on Sunday morning (and before) to make sure it was a great experience:
What a great day! Sunshine, Warbirds and Old Friends.
With only 48 days to Flying Legends 2013 anticipation in the hangar is increasing by the day. Flying Legends ticket sales are up over 18 percent on this time last year, so everyone else is obviously as excited as us!
Just one picture from early this morning (which seems a long time ago now) , we will have a longer report tomorrow.
Just t o update you on what we have in Hangar 2 this week end.
As if the opportunity to win 2 gold passes for Flying Legends 2013 was not enough. We also have the ever cheerful Friends of TFC team on hand to talk about old aeroplanes and stuff, and Friends of TFC merchandise to prepare your self for the airshow season.
Finally you can have a go at Flying a Mustang, well not a real one but Two members of The Virtual Horsemen will be on hand in Hangar 2 at Duxford on the Sunday, showcasing The Fighter Collection’s / Eagle Dynamics latest flight simulator, DCS: World. We will have a PC set up, with all available modules including A-10C, Ka-50 Black Shark, P-51D Mustang & the Huey, for you all to try your hand at flying the latest generation of PC simulation.

An early start with the Mk XIV departing for Holland and the P40-F was up and about for a couple of practice displays:
P-47 now met up with the Hawk at La Ferte
Well, that isn’t strictly true. I was only there for twenty minutes – but the right twenty minutes as you can see:
P-47 departs for La Ferte this afternoon.
