starting with the EE Lightning and the Avro Vulcan,

Very nice! Looks like you had a lot of fun!

Airframes · 09-12-2009, 04:53 PM

Nice shots Karl. Guess what? I didn't notice the Vulcan!!! How the h*ll could I miss that great big lump??!!
I'll throw a few up here tomorrow - still wading through all 450 pics!!

Airframes · 09-12-2009, 05:11 PM

Ah, what the heck! Here's a few to be going on with. I'll sort some more properly tomorrow, and if anyone needs detail shots, I've got a few of various birds, WW2 and 'modern'.

Hey Terry, maybe you need new glasses?

Awsome photos Karl. I've been looking forward to those as I remember only too well that you said you were going to visit Duxford on your way to Roman. That must be a great place to see...and big too as I imagine...

Edit: Terry, that are some great photos too. Can't wait to see the rest. I probably wouldn't notice Vulcan myself with so many WW2 birds near by. (Especially the Bf 109.)

Say hello to Roman and his family for me R&A have a good trip

Hi - just found this forum, and would like to say welcome to you all. I live about 15 miles from Duxford, and visit frequently during the summer. I have photographs (not quite as good a quality as the ones above) of all of the Second World war planes based at Duxford, and those that visited for the airshows over the pst few years. If anybody has any burning requests for any photos, let me know and I will try and post them for you

Gnomey · 09-13-2009, 02:03 PM

Good stuff guys!

Airframes · 09-13-2009, 02:17 PM

Thanks guys, and welcome Taffy! Introduce yourself in the 'Basics' threads, then everyone will know you're here! Enjoy the forum, there's a great bunch of blokes here mate!
Igor, sorry to say we missed half of one hangar, where the Bf109 and Flug Werke FW190 etc would nornmally be! We only realised when it was too late, and the museum was closing! My fault, I should have realised, having been there many times before, but we were trying to fit it all in during a relatively short visit. Yes, it's a big place, a working airfield, and from one end to the otherthe museum part is over one kilometre, if the Land Warfare hall is included.

Great stuff, guys!

I don't know if they would allow me to roam free in one of those large museums, I'd be like a kid in a candy store!

No wonder Terry. You were looking for the 'Wildcats' all the time

Thanks fellas. Now, now Roman, leave the Wildcat out of this....Oh, you mean the aeroplane....thought you meant that other wildcat!!
Anyway, here's a few more of mine - Karl's back at work, so he might not have time to post much at the moment. The last pic is for Wojtek.
