Duxford - a Pictorial Tour.

Nice shots Terry! Brings back the memories of when I was last there, which is a long time ago now.

Thanks Hugh.

MAN, they kinda stacked things in around the BUFF didn't they Terry! Excellent shots sir!

Thanks Aaron. Yes, it's a bit crowded in there, but better than having aircraft such as the B52 standing outside, as they used to, suffering the effects of the British weather. (We don't have a climate - only weather !!)

LOL! Well, we've only got two kinds of winter here in Denmark - a white one and a green one.

Thanks for sharing your photos, I've GOT to go see those museums soon! *stomp*

Here in Calgary, we have 11 months of winter and 1 month of bad skiing.

Good shots Terry!

Crickey Terry, I'm off site for a while and come back all grumpy cos I'm missing a Warbird fix, was planning on doing a trip to DX and now I dont need to !. Stunning set of shots matey !

To re-iterate, I recently took a mate from work who has never been to DX before, and after running him ragged trying to get around to see eveything in one day...and failing miserably... he hasn't stopped talking about it and is pestering for a return trip.

So, if you're looking at these shots and cant make your mind up if to visit or not...stop bl**dy wasting time and get to DX, you absolutely will not regret it !!!

Thanks Gary, and bl**dy well said! Got to be the only place in the world, literally, where the aircraft match the scenery - and so much to see, you need to keep coming back - especially to see the changes !

A few more from the American Museum. The engine is from the SR71 'Blackbird', displayed beneath the beast.
Some rather involved work is being done on the B17G 'Mary Alice' since my last visit, but I wasn't able to find out what's happening. Whether it's just a re-furb, or if it's being made airworthy, I'm afraid I don't know at this stage.

God I'd never leave. Great pics!

 

[T Bolt]

Sure looks like they're doing something major with that B-17. Great pics Terry, keep'em coming!

 

[Crimea_River]

I agree.

 

[Airframes]

Thanks guys. More very soon.

Continuing the walk around of the American museum, the first couple were taken during a previous visit, showing the B17 before work began on her. The rear entrance hatch has a 'Perpex' box built into it, to allow viewing of the interior.

 

[Crimea_River]

Good ones Terry!

 

[Gnomey]

Good stuff Terry!

 

[Wurger]

I echo the post above.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

I'm with VB, I'd not want to leave! Excellent shots Terry!

 

[Airframes]

Thanks chaps, glad you appreciate them. More to come soon, including the 'Tank Hall'.
Bear in mind, this is only a small selection of what's on display, and often working, at DX, otherwise the pics would really clog the forum !!
Any questions about specific areas/exhibits, just ask.

4th pic down, they have a B-52 in there????????
