Great photos Karl! Really good stuff. I especially like the MiG-21 (no surprise there ). This one carries Hungarian markings from communist times if I'm not mistaken. Is that F-4 displayed near to the MiG? That would truly emphasized size difference between this two aircraft.

Excellent photos of WW2 birds too. The place is rather crowded with planes as I imagine, making the photographing of the entire aircraft difficult...

the phantom and the mig are next to each other Igor.

and yes some times the pictures were hard to get but i had the good fortune to have Terry with me because he knows loads about Duxford and its exhibits and is a bit of a whizz with camera's as well

Thats a great set of shots of that collection you have there mate, thanks for the thread. I've 'bimbled' around that section quite a few times and they do pack them in a bit, dont they.

We should all have a get together at the Duxford Museum! Party expenses on, hmmmm, whose the unlucky victim?

Just joking, but that would be awesome.

It would certainly be an excellent venue for members to meet. As for the party, I think Jan should take care of that.....

Terry, think about it...is this really a good idea?

 

[Airframes]

Er... ah... hmmm! I see what you mean...it could get very messy!!!

 

[B-17engineer]

Oh I'm still young, looks like I don't have to pay?

 

[vikingBerserker]

<perk> Somebody mention road trip???????

I'm in!

Not a bad idea VB. It would be good if a central location could be agreed upon, and a number of members could get together for a sort of unofficial annual 'knees up'. The UK is good for museums, and sort of 'central', but the cost of hotels etc might be prohibitive. Central Europe or the 'States would be other alternatives, if it ever came to fruition.

Well, the U.S. is kind of in the middle between Europe, Australia and South America
