You gotta love a classic. They actually have 2 there plus a B-24, B-29 and B-52.
First time I have ever seen a Lancaster! Boy are they big.
They have alot of aircraft there and a neat thing is that many are in working order. I have been there on a weekend in the past and you can see them flying. If you go on an air show day I bet it is spectacular. In addition to many aircraft they have a whole hanger of vehicles that are manily WW II. This is well done and worth a visit in and of itself.

There are several full scale dioramas with vehicles in them that are simply smashing like the one pictured above.
After visiting there I could not get my kin to play Bag the Hun. They wanted to play...
A meeting engagement using the Platoon Forward scenario from a Lardy special a couple years back
My son and I were the russians while my brother and his son were the Germans.
We won.
They got revenge with SAGA the next night though
Also got my Dad to a WW II airfield near here called Lavenham. He enjoyed it.

Will still post the pictures of the IWM and Sutton Hoo.

Have to return to Duxford, ASAP... now if Chany will respond to my message I can organize something... ahahahah... by the way how the restoration project of the F-105 is doing?
ReplyDeleteIt is a great place. I don't recall seeing a F 105 there. There are plenty of planes being restored though so I could have missed it. they have a JU 52 that is almost ready.

Awesome. Thats a lot of planes in that Hanger. Looks like it is well worth a visit. Seeing a real Lancester is always great.
