Duxford UK Autumn Show

[patmurphy]

Summer is well and truly over in Britain and the closing show of the year is Duxofrd's Autumn Show. I managed to grab a weekend away from the Guesthouse business that me and the better half have and took the new toys out and about (Canon 15-85 and Canon 70-300L) Here is my version of the day. Weather was showery but that created some excellent photography opps. Enjoy.

American Air Museum Memorial. Lest We Forget

Hawker Hunter F58a "Miss Demeanor" The owner Mr Jonathan "Flapjack" Whalley says it isn't a crime to paint a Hunter like this. ust a MissDemeanor!! Sadly this was his last UK display and the aircraft is up for sale *checks pockets. No not enough!!*


Canopy open pass.


Fast Pass, Blue noting all the way. Check out the video on Youtube. Not mine but Awesome sound.

Very nice Pat; lovely shots. Sad to hear Jonathan Whalley is selling Miss Demeanour; he puts on a good display and is a nice chap; we used to use him at our airshows. He's also relatively cheap to hire for a display.

Beautiful photography there Pat, thanks very much! Is that Mr Goldspink I see piloting the lovely P40B? Man I wish I had his job ....!!
Cheers, Chris
