[?] Duxford airshows

bert8for3 · 01-30-09, 08:58 PM

Does anyone know which of the Duxford airshows is the best in terms of WW2 aircraft?

There's not much info on the website. There seem to be 3 shows, in the spring, then in July, and then in early Sept. The July show is the Flying Legends show and I'm thinking that's probably the biggest one in terms of numbers of aircraft generally and WW2 aircraft in particular?

Do they post in advance what aircraft will be there?

Apart from last year i went the 7 years running previous it is a good airshow and they even let you go up in a WW2 vintage dragon rapide !

It is a good day out for everyone and you do see alot there.

There's a bunch of guys from the IL2 forums that go to the Flying Legends show every year.

The SimHQ event photography subforum also has an army of Duxford regulars, you may want to ask there.
