I love Duxford, but these old planes will stop flying sometime in the near future because apparently they pollute the enviornment I am told. The nannys and tree huggers dont want them in the air over their homes I guess...too bad. But you can go for a spin in an old plane for a hefty price, but it is a hoot.

Ya looks to be! Gotta bring'em down before we all cook at Al Gore's BBQ! Those aren't old fighter planes are they? You know what they were used for?
You should try a wing walk!

the fighters and bombers go up twice or even three times a year, for insurance purposes and at the pleasure of her majesty and her government, they have to have permission to do so. We just had a hurricane crash not too long ago that killed the pilot and created some anxiety among the nannies. The next even should be relatively soon but it has to get a lot warmer yet. Too bloody cold right now. Folks around here are complaining about the unseasonable cold this month...
Its all that Global Chilling they think...LOL
