Imperial War Museum - Duxford

Duxford – one of the RAF’s oldest fighter bases, home to the USAF’s 8th Air Force during WWII and now the American Air Museum, home also too The Old Flying Machine Company and The Fighter Collection – a true Mecca for all air enthusiasts.

The weather on Air Show day was about as bad as it can get and still put aircraft in the air. Eventually though, the weather won and the show was significantly curtailed.

But it didn’t really matter as the Museum is huge – far more there then can be taken in one day.

On the flying side they did manage to get the Sally B – a USAF B-17 Flying Fortress - airborne. A first for me and it made quite an impression. More so than I would have expected – probably because it was a first.
