Last big show of the season so Hagar had to be there to record it. Fortunately the fog cleared in time for the display & it was a very nice Autumn day. The hazy conditions & position of the sun (always a problem at Duxford for me) make it difficult to get decent aerial shots. Quantity rather than quality this time I'm afraid. Here's the Duxford Cats + Corsair. No Wildcat today.

A nice Tigercat they have.

And I suppose we can expect some more shots, eh? Wink

Oops, fogot this one.

Thanks chaps. More rotten shots to come if you want to see them. Not one of my best days. I hope Roger did better than me.

The runway runs East to West and the viewing area is North of the runway....

We are always facing due South....right into the Sun... Cry
