    Getting a job to keep up with all these lists. Anyway here is the latest official list straight from the Fighter Collections scribe:

  • Carers Statement

    IWM Duxford says:

    “We have never charged carers for everyday admission to the museum and that remains the case. We did introduce a charge for carers at our air show last month but, following feedback from disabled visitors and their peers, it’s now clear that we misjudged the bigger picture. We will now reverse that decision so that the carer accompanying a disabled visitor is, once again, not charged for admission to our air shows. We appreciate the strength of emotion expressed by many of you on this point. Please accept our apologies. We continually strive to achieve the best possible balance between making IWM Duxford as accessible and enjoyable for all whilst at the same time ensuring the museum has a long term, financially-sustainable future, and hope this decision demonstrates that approach.”

  • 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.

  • DCS P-51D Flight Sim released

    Another of those just in time for Christmas items. DCS have just released their P-51D Flight sim. Those who attended the TFC event earlier this year will have seen the stunning attention to detail that sets this warbird flight sim apart. More information available HERE

    We will have details of how to order this direct in the next few days………

  • Another Website Facelift and other admin news

    We are doing a bit of internal redecoration in the offices and thought the website ought to benefit from this as well.

    Over the next few weeks we will be transitioning to a new look web presence. This will allow us to show off the archive of photo history from TFC as well as keep you up to date with the latest news in one logical place.

    This will happen in stages so we don’t disrupt things too much.

    Final news update: Fighter Log – where is it? Well the Logs are all printed and the first batch were in the post tonight. We ran out of polybags at a critical envelope stuffing time this week end – it all went very, very quiet and it was my fault (first time for everything they say), we aim to have the remainder posted out both UK and Worldwide by the end of the week.

  • The Fleet gets ready

    On the ramp at  Duxford today, Martin  in the Harvard, Fred in the Spitfire, also Corsair photo just in!

     

  • Congratulations to Stevo and Strega !

    Back in 2009 we congratulated Stevo on his win at Reno, all at TFC are thrilled to pass on congratulations again on winning the Unlimited Gold Race at Reno in 2012.

  • Video from September show

    This is an example of the video that Friends of TFC have been able to access since last week – we hope to be able to bring more exclusive behind the scenes video shorts for Friends of TFC on the members pages in the future.

  • Duxford 8-9th Sept Come and meet us

    Friends of TFC Stand will be up and running in Hangar 2 in the mornings over the week end. Do stop by and have a chat , we like that sort of thing!
