  • March update

    Well you spend a few weeks planning something for the website and then the weather doesn’t play ball. We promised something for today so please watch the video for an update on aeroplanes and news about our brand new Friends of TFC clothing – more on this later.

    We are also glad to say our latest Fighter Log has escaped to the Post Office along with our 2013 calendar – so if you are bored with that existing calendar on your wall now is the ideal time to change!

  • February 2013

  • January News Update

    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.

    team discussion at TFC

    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

  • 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.

  • Flying Legends 2013 Tickets

    Update November 14th 2012: Tickets for our world famous event will be on sale in the very near future – we will flash the news on Facebook and diary pages as soon as we can confirm availability.
