ACG Duxford 2018 Picture Thread
Well somebody had to start it! I didn't take many but I will post a few here. Would like to see the group shots though!
Flying in... downwind to land. The ideal way to avoid the traffic!
A real surprise this CR42. Unfortunately nobody was around to talk to about it.
Hurricane lurve...
Oh... and some more lurve...
And a big jug!
Had a great day. Fantastic to meet up with everybody again.

de Havilland Museum - Saturday
I think Lee was talking to Pariah about getting more tattoos?
Left to right: Bully, Broadsword, Sharpe, Onebad, Ullski, Pariah, Bloke who knew more than we did about Mosquitos, Dub, Spectre.
DH98 Mosquito Prototype
DH98 Mosquito B.MK.35 (Bomber)
DH112 Sea Venom FAW.22 cockpit
Secu snubbing the Sea Venom cockpit in favour of the sweet, sweet loving of the DH98 Mosquito B.MK.35
DH98 Mosquito FB MK.VI - Fighter Bomber. Note it only has five visible exhausts on the inside of the engine cowling, the rear two are linked by a manifold. Later engines sat further forward as their twin-stage superchargers meant the exhausts sat further forward. (See - I *was* listenening!)
Mosquito fuel tank - plywood!! These aircraft are not made, they are crafted.
Left to Right: Laurent, Secu, Bully, Pariah, Broadsword.
DH98 Mosquito Prototype. They later decided yellow wasn't the best camoflage.

When asked why the navigator in the Sea Vixen doesn't get a room with a view, the guide replies "If your navigator needs to see where he's going, then you get yourself a new navigator".
Potentially the most boring seat in a flight sim I suspect.
The Steward keeps a close eye on Pariah as he attempts to pilfer the joystick ("Ooh - this trim switch is amazing!)
Bunny's knees - so much roomier than Teepee's Lightning, practically enough room to swing a female fox!
Nev smitten by the DH100 Vampire FB.6
DHC1 Chipmunk T.MK.10
DH82A Tiger Moth - Pariah's bird
Cierva C.24 Autogiro
A wing from something Pariah identified. Apparently I wasn't listening so intently by this stage, but we thought him rather clever for it.

The DeHaviland museum was very pleasant, as were the staff. I'd highly recommend to anyone who missed it. I'll post pics soon.
P.S Is Lee back yet I want to see myself in the RAF uniform

Our fearless captain of No.29 squadron has just spotted an enemy balloon.
Royal Aircratf Factory RE.8 - aka "Harry Tate"
P-47 Thunderbolt - aka "The Jug"
Hurricane that runs so hot, it needs extra venting.
Yellow-nosed bastard. Pilot has already ejected by the looks of it.
The beast.
The bigger beast takes Mark under its wing. It could take several hundred Marks to be fair.
The bigger beast and its eggs.

I am so jealous right now, the de Havilland museum looks wonderful.
The pilot shall be considered to have above-average intelligence and normal (average) common sense.
