  • Sunday Hangar update

    We are back after a break after Flying Legends. Work continues in the hangar with the Hellcat being moved into the service area along with the Wildcat.

    TFC volunteers were busy today cleaning the aircraft and engineering checks were being carried out on the Spitfire Mk XIV. Thanks to Fred for allowing us to catch this on video:

    A quick note for those who joined as online members recently (including at Flying Legends). We have processed your details but we are upgrading the members area software this week end so we haven’t been able to add everyone on to the online system yet. This should be cleared within the next few days and we thank you for your patience.

    On the subject of online membership we are in the process of updating the Members pages with more background information on the aircraft of TFC (old and new), archive photos and video. This update will happen in stages and we will let you know though the diary as and when.

  • Flying Legends 2012 – a thank you

    Thanks to every one who came along to Duxford this week end. It was great to see so many old and new faces. It has been a great end to an extremely busy week for everyone who helps make Flying Legends work. We will find a few different pictures to post over the next few days but now is the opportunity for an early night.

    We will leave you with just the one picture for now from the start of the Saturday show:
