With somewhat challenging weather conditions Stu Goldspink airtested in the morning and then displayed (between “showers”) TFC Spitfire MkXIV. Due to weather no pictures this time.
Snafu-return flight
As promised more on Snafu and Stansted.
You can see the Look East Article on BBC iplayer here about 10/11 minutes in (UK viewers only) and we have a short video of her return from Stansted in this post:
Thanks as ever to the guys in the hangar for allowing us this unique access to a very special aircraft.
Next some pics from Brian Marshall of the display Stu Goldspink performed on his return to Duxford:
P-47, Snafu on the Telly
TFC P-47 was on Look East tonight. Just got back from Duxford where Snafu returned from a Day out at Stansted, more later
Friends of TFC update
A few notes for Friends of TFC old and new.
First Fighter Log – this was ready for press before the week end but with much news and coverage of Stephens displays at Flying Legends we have decided a Mk II version is appropriate. We will progress this as quickly as possible with an anticipated August post out date.
Next: Friends of TFC website pages and log in facility. We have an updated log in system and new pages being tested at the moment. These will integrate with the rest of the site and give FofTFC more information on aircraft and restorations on many of the pages. Again we have an August launch date pencilled in for this. All Friends with a email address registered with us will be notified as the new system comes on line.
Finally a message from the merchandise and subscription teams. Please be patient, we have had a massive show of support, new memberships and merchandise orders over the weekend, we aren’t Amazon (wish we were) and we will be processing orders as quickly as possible over the next few weeks.
Sorry that wasn’t finally, this is: Messages for Stephen and photos from the week end. All messages have been duly forwarded both from Facebook and those received through the website – they are all appreciated. Photos – keep them coming. Please be aware we have had a massive amount submitted with some fantastic views. If we haven’t replied immediately it isn’t because we don’t like your pictures!
If you have any enquiries please use the following email addresses
Memberships and Merchandise: friends@fighter-collection.com
General enquiries and messages about Flying Legends 2013 (This is a better way to send photos than Facebook): help@fighter-collection.com
Thank you for your support from FofTFC
Next Year
Flying Legends 2014 will be held on 12th and 13th July 2014
Sunday
Another day of great flying! Just one pic tonight and then we will have more news tomorrow.
Thanks to everyone who popped in to the friends tent – hope you all enjoyed the show as much as we did.
Phew! What a Scorcher
A few quick snaps from Saturday at Legends, if you didn’t make today hope to see you tomorrow, thanks to Rob for the pics.
Friday 12th update
More on proceeding later, just to say we should be on the ITN news tonight.
July 11th – Final thoughts
What a great day, if you look on the various forums I am sure they are filling up with photos of the action from today.
A few housekeeping notes for you:
The FofTFC guys will have a stall in hangar 2 on Friday. Your chance to join FofTFC and get that priority access to the Flightline Walk and entry to the FofTFC marquee (see below) over the weekend. Also a chance to get the all new 2013 polo shirt or a FofTFC hat ready for the week end – oh yes you can talk warbirds as well – we quite like that sort of thing – but please no questions when will the beaufighter fly!
Next, the FofTFC marquee – all ready for the week end
and if you were there tonight at about 21:20 looking out at this view your evening would be disturbed by the sound of the Horsemen returning – that is an exclusive you won’t find on other sites 🙂
Be back with more from Duxford tomorrow
July 11th update 3 with pictures
Mk XIV has just been up, followed by Mustangs and now Stephen has just landed after a display in Bearcat. Elsewhere Martyn was able to get these pictures of the Hurricane arrival (it has just taken off again for a practice) and Flying Bulls Corsair on what was a very busy flight line earlier today:
