Busy weekend at Duxford
Practice displays and flights by two very different TFC aircraft.
The P40b did some practice display work and the Carbon Cub gave a contrasting view of airmanship. More contrasts on Sunday – one of the newest Cubs was joined by one of the oldest Cubs! Thanks to Brian Marshall for the pictures:

Jim Mackonochie
It is with great sadness TFC announce the passing of Jim Mackonochie.
Jim was a dear friend to all of us and his role invaluable to the Flight Sim division.
Our thoughts are with his family at this sad time.
