-The wine of contemporary aerobatics had gone, today, but there were more pleasant sounds provided by Hurricane R4118 and The Millers' Rapide, G-AGJG. Not sure that the sound of Harvard G-CIUW/FE511, presumably conveying the Hurricane's owner, came into the pleasant category!

-Thank you for posting , is this shark in new paint or another ?
I would think there will be a lot of activity from Duxford this coming week.

-I don't know which one it was but John Romain flew it and they just used the call 'Mustang'.

-The 'mystery' Mustang was flying, again, today culminating in photoshoot in the late evening sunlight with Harvard G-BGPB. It is, in fact, "The Shark' G-SHWN, which is now sporting the colour scheme of a 4th Fighter Group, Debden-based machine.

-According to the latest Aeroplane Monthly, the former Shark is now flying in the scheme carried by Don Blakeslee's personal aircraft flying out of nearby Debden. If only Dad were still here to see it, he'd often have seen the original...

-My apologies, 24 threshold 2, I've only just seen your post above, and had a good emotional nostalgia trip as a result. Thank you!
Now, wouldn't it be nice to see a P51B painted as "Kidd" Hofer's Salem Representative - even if Wyvern fan might not like the white wall tyres!

Despite IWM closure, the airfield was still operating with DAs (G-XXTR & F-GXDB) and Spitfire flights (G-CCCA), amongst other movements.
