  • Hellcat Engine Run

    That was  the plan anyway  -Hellcat  has  just been out onto airfield and then the  rains  came….and no that  doesn’t  mean it  will be flying at the  display this week end!

     

    Martyn C  caught these pictures  just  before the  weather  changed

    Spitfire Mk Vb and Hawk 75  have also  been out  for engine  run ups, pictures  may well  follow.

     

  • Duxford 40 years ago

    While TFC prepares for the traditional airshow this weekend there are a number of volunteers at TFC  who were at Duxford 40 years ago as volunteers with  EAAS. These are a few photos we believe from that event and the airfield at that time. It is possible the airfield is wearing better than us! As usual we will have our stall in the hangar

     

    So memory  lane then , the control tower wasn’t always as  posh as it is  now:

     

    The  hangars weren’t as  full (or as warm) as they are now

    People still took  photos from the naughty  field

    and what it was all about

     

    All pics  courtesy of a  Boots 126 instamatic …time moves on
