Country: | Who´s gonna visit FL this year? I´d like to know who´s gonna visit FL this year.
I´ll meet Trackend there and gotta thank him and say he´s doing a big thing for me as he offered to pick us up at the Luton airport and bring us to Duxford and then back.
So I´m curious if I´ll meet someone else there, I mean the members...

Country: | I sure hope that is the definitive list Seesul ( we will have to check the Duxford web site list next week on Wednesday) you will get to see three B17's and I get to see my all time favorite The Swordfish in the air last.
7 times I've been to airshows when the stringbag was due to make an appearance and they had technical problems everytime. |

| I cannot get to the show but hope to go to Duxford over this weekend for a look around. If your lucky they sometimes practice their displays in the days before the actual show, anyway we will see but the weather forcast isn't that good at the moment. |

thanks Lee |

Country: | Duxford Hi there,
Just to say to the person thinking of attending this year's 'Flying Legends' air display at Duxford, it's probably the best show you can go to. I went to last year's show and it's fantastic. I uploaded a lot of photos if you want to see what it was like: Duxford Flying Legends 2007
It really is great value for money.

Country: | There is a replica FW190 Roman that is being completed, last year it was doing taxi runs but It is not listed in The fighter collection (another group I am a supporter of) The Fighter Collection -
Much of the work done at Duxford is for external clients and once completed the aircraft are shipped out so there is a contant turn over of various planes in the hangers. |
