Marvellous! I hope the weather stays at least reasonable for you guys. Have a great time, and of course, get some shots of that FW if she gets airborne!
 
OH yesssssssssssss as you put it Gary( where is your British reserve )
I may be able to tick 3 havent seen boxes this weekend Oh my goodness what a bloody line up
my only fear is the weathe,r it now says Saturday light cloud Sunday, dull/rain,
 
Forecast for Saturday, Duxford - sunny, clear and hot. Sunday pi...er..persisting down. Looks like Saturday will be the best day for photo ops guys, hope the forecast is correct, especially for you in your tent Lee!
 
Ok guys I got back this morning had a great time and very nice weather specially on the Sunday
I took my old video camera not that i know how to use it but the sound system is good so i thought Id stick a video of the shows opening fly past with my image postings (its at the bottom) Its pointless looking at it as all i did was turn it on and left it alone while i took some pictures but you can see a pile of dots zooming about.
You need Quick time to view it (sorry) hear it but turn up the volume and listen to 7 Spites a Buchon 109 and a FW190 ( I don't think you'll have too much trouble picking out the FW)

I shall start my attempt, ahem at pictures (i've seen Gary's wonderful shots so dont expect too much guys) with the FW190 replica I make no apologes for the over size pictures, as in my book the bigger the better.

Nothing wrong with those shots mate...all my ground to air shots are too dark, not inmpressed !. She is a cracking plane to watch isnt she, and what a climb rate !...I was busy looking for the sky hooks that she was attached to as her rate of climb was pretty damn indecent (actually a lot better than the jets at where I work !!!) and certainly a lovely sound track as well.
 
Great stuff Lee, absoulutely cracking shots mate! I 've just thought, this is probably the first time a '190 has flown across the Channel from France since the War!
Glad to hear the weather stayed good - I saw the original forecast, for sun on Saturday, and rain Sunday - then it changed to p*ss*ng down for both days!

What kind'a engine (make-HP, etc) does it have?

not sure on that but I reckon if you hunt the web for Flug Werk fw190you should be able to find it.

thanks for the comments guys, a couple of re-enactor people shots next before I start on the aircraft

Lee, that B/W shot with the low angle of the two guys and the 25 / 17 in the background is a masterpiece !. Bl**dy nice one mate
 
Wow, those photos are fantastic! I was at Flying Legends on Saturday and adored the show! Sadly my photos look like blurs in the air!
