Duxford Summer Airshow 2023

Very hot day at Duxford yesterday - enjoyed some of the displays, but the thing no one talks about now, is the "Shoreham" effect - how far away and how high the aircraft are when displaying.

RIAT 2018

A disappointing show this year - nothing really very interesting and the fight by the new F35 was very uninspiring!

Duxford Air Festival 2018

A disappointing show at Duxford - not many interesting aircraft, long gaps between displays and all hampered by very hazy conditions. The Patrouille de France put on a very good display to close the show.
