Hi everyone,

In order for you red pilots to take precautions in time: In a bold "Operation Seelöwe"-attempt JG4 will make a quick sortie to Duxford this summer.
10+ members are going to have a close look at all of those Spitfires and Hurricanes that we have heard so much of. Of course, we will also jump at the opportunity to inspect the condition of the planes we entrusted you some 75 years ago.

Personally, I am very much looking forward to Imperial War Museum and Flying Legends.
Watching the 2016 trailer I get an idea why quite some squadron members talk of the airshow in glowing terms:

Some more Cliffs pilots to make this trip?

Regards

I filmed this footage at last-year's show. No music when the aircraft display. Just edits of the aircraft flying with (hopefully) most of the junk cut out. Should give a flavour of what to expect? I alsready spoke with Lewis who has been trying to entice me into his tent :) that due to work committments I can't attend this year (and am gutted as it's my only treat in the year :( ), but it is really worth getting there if you can. Incredible atmosphere and a great collection of aircraft.

I'll be there in 2017....maybe with a sneak peek of TF v6.00 :stunned:

Cheers, MP

One of these years when I actually am able to make the trip over I will. It seems awesome! I guess Abbotsford will have to do for an airshow this summer . . .

I went to Flying Legends for the first time in 2014. Awesome show. Missed last year but I hope to go along again this year, and if so, it would be great to meet up with some of you guys. You never know, I may actually have flown my first online combat mission by then!!!! :thumbsup:

Ok Lewis, I will look out for your post. I live about an hour and a half drive from Duxford, so will not be camping, will be driving there and back the same day. Not sure if I will be going alone, or if my wife will be tagging along, like when I went to legends in 2014, (which is handy for me because I can enjoy a few ales and she drives home) :thumbsup:

I am planning to make it this year. Still not decided whether I will be camping or hotelling. If 56 are going then they will be in hotels because they is old! :-) If they are not going then I will join you at the campsite.

Hotels rooms are quite scarce now. If you are going you need to book your room ASAP.

Not getting much response from 56 and the few replies are negative so I will assume there will only be a couple at most. Camping and drunkenness it is!

Can I clarify? Do campers usually arrive Friday and spend two evenings or just set up after the Saturday show? Also, I have a tent etc. so can accomodate myself and my son (6ft 2 tighthead prop so don't worry about me bringing 'children' :-) )
