Looking around the hangar and the winter maintenance continues, if you think you might like to volunteer with the Fighter Collection we will have an announcement of interest soon:
Volunteers cleaning Sea Fury parts
Wildcat Engine
Gladiator Engine
Sea Fury
Spitfire Mk 1
Not too much to report on the flying front so far this year but a few notes about Flying Legends.
First and encouragingly TFC are discussing with the Manhattan Dolls a return visit in 2013.
Next and important if you are planning on flying into Duxford for Flying Legends we have a download of “Duxford Airfield (EGSU) – Information for Pilots” on the Flying Legends information page. Click HERE for the link to the FL general information page.
A quick update from the hangar floor with the volunteers invloved in erecting new racking for storing parts from the Sea Fury restoration seen taking a quick break.
Bookings for the Bremont VIP Flight Lounge have started coming in so now might be a good time to make your mind up if you are wanting to take advantage of this option.
And Finally: Where is my Fighter Log? Due to weather conditions the latest Fighter Log has not made a connection with the postal team, we hope to distribute these as soon as possible – Friends of TFC can still view this and previous editions on line as usual
After a bit of a break we are back!
