Duxford 2014....The Jolly Boys Outing!!

[Osprey]

Indeed Bunny. Call us toffs but it's the Hilton or nothing, certainly not rubbing shoulders with the 'enlisted men' in tents eh what?

ACG will have a decent contingent attending as usual, supplemented by those who come for the day only. So for us it's the Hilton Stansted on Saturday afternoon/evening followed by the Sunday airshow. Hopefully we can meet you chaps, and 56 for the second time (you should be used to Nitrous by now!).

I manged to find the video of Lewis and an old AFJ team mate on the Saturday night..

Its a blast:

[ATAG_Lewis]

Rgrt..Thats me in the middle....with Slipstream and jinzo...!...Man that music seemed so contageous that day!

[Muffin]

tins of beans and dogburgers for me this year. Hmmm.......

No horseburgers?

[Archie]

You need a gold pass to get horse burgers...

[Mysticpuma]

Looking forward to my Horse Burgers

Actually I just got the Gold Pass without the lunch. For the extra cost, I just couldn't justify the fact that I can take a couple of Cheese and Onion rolls and a can of coke for about £2.00 (bought outside of the show of-course!)

Now, just need to get a Team Fusion T-Shirt printed

[Dutch]

I almost wish I had been born
a Brit.

Yeah, yeah. You and the rest of the world.

They all seem to come here, legally or not, so feel free. It's open house here. Just jump onto the axle of a big lorry in France, get over here and we'll pay you £60 a week out of taxpayers money for simply being here. It's a blast. The fields are really green too. Apart from the ones underwater after the floods that is.

But anyway, Duxford. You've never seen an airshow until you've seen a Fiesler Storch float down vertically and then go straight up before it's wheels touch the ground. Or three early mark Spits performing formation aerobatics, or a flight of Mustangs whistling past at what must've been 500mph after a very long dive, or a B-17 taxi-ing past so close you could touch the wingtip. Man, the sound, the smell......

Duxford. There is nothing like it. The girls singing 1940's classics on the stage are pretty damned fine too.

Sold. Maybe. Possibly.

You do realise that when you are spotted with a TF shirt you'll be dragged over to the flight line and have intricacies of flight models pointed out to you repeatedly. "look at that turn rate. sort it out!!!!"

Please note that ATAG members will be required to eat at least one figgy duff after each 10 beers.

Look forward to it.

We can discuss how they will perform in the new Theatre

Hey MP, I'll look for you Sunday in the Gold Area.

See you all then!

[DonKojote]

I will be flying in Tiger Moth for 20 minutes on Friday and watching my first airshow on Saturday , I spoiled myself and got gold ticket. Can't wait for July, I hope that weather will be good as I have already rescheduled Tiger Moth flight once . I was supposed to fly last October but there was a storm that day. I went to RAF Museum in London instead. This time I am travelling to London/Cambridge especially for the flight and airshow. I wish it wasn't so weather dependant.

See you all in golden area , I am making myself some sort of Rise of Flight T-Shirt , with N28 on it .

In 7 years we have only experienced one bit of rain and not much at that.....and it didn't compromise the airshow or our fun!

[CombatTaffy]

[ATAG_Lewis]

[Osprey]

It's never rained when I've attended, worst weather was a couple of years ago when it was bloody cold and windy but in between when the sun was out - ouch!

[Archie]

The sun always shines on the righteous...

[ATAG_Frankenstien]

Campsite...

**BOOKED**

[Steve D]

Dammit, I'm gigging. That weekend in July is always busy with gigs. For 3 or 4 years though I was able to do the best gig in the world, which was play in the band that play the Saturday Night post -display evening do for the Flying Legends pilots, crews, and their partners, in the big pilots marquee. The place is loaded with rich guys, expensive women, top-gun swagger, and testosterone. The gig involved hanging out with them of course, free food and drink of course,...and a VIP pass to watch the display from the pilot's enclosure - and get paid decent money to do all that. If Carlsberg did gigs....

Year before last? The year they had the 3 Mk1 Spits and they flew the missing man formation, I was on the gig and got chatting to one of the pilots of the Mk1's. One of them had undercarriage retraction problems, it wasn't him, though his Spit was an early one with the manual undercarriage pump. It had appeared out of the sand at Dunkirk a few years back. He said it wasn't his, sadly, he was flying on behalf of the owner. Nice work if you can get it!

This was him, and the plane. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oh1S-C1r_mA

Hi guys,
I’m quite new to the forum but according to steam I have now logged 98 hours flight time in CLOD (Thank you Team Fusion) , mostly on the brilliant ATAG server.
Me and my 9 year old boy will be going off on a little adventure together to the Duxford Flying Legends Air show; I have been once before and loved it.
We are booked in at the campsite Friday night and Saturday, I will try to find you guys on the campsite and have a few beers after the show.
Regards

Perfect Wandso....Fantastic....We always have a good time....we look forward to seeing you....You won't be able to miss us...and the campsite is great

We get there usually mid day to afternoon on the Friday...we are booked the same days as you....also there is a free bus from the park and ride which is a short drive from the campsite.....saves a lot of hassle

[ATAG_Frankenstien]

OK holiday approved from work, site booked, all good to go. I'm staying on the site till Monday have the week off after the show so I thought I'd avoid the traffic as I'm heading over to my folks after. I might even sneak into the show on the Sunday If I feel like it (for sneak see buy a ticket of course)

Mobile is 07742375231 if anyone would like to let me know where people are when I arrive.
