Duxford Airshow, September 2012

A good airshow at Duxford on 8/9 September 2012. We went on the Saturday and were privileged to see the only Vulcan still flying.

Here's XH558 showing its bomb doors.











A Catalina amphibious flying boat











A Folland Gnat. Quite nostalgic for me as I did an apprenticeship in the factory in Hamble where the Gnat was made. The Gnat was still used by the Red Arrows in those days and we had a memorable display specially for the factory in the final year of the Gnat as the Arrows moved onto Hawks.





Another iconic historic aircraft, B17 "Sally B"











An excellent display by the Aerostars Yak-50 display team.
