Meet up for Breakfast from 08.30 onwards and then leave "World Famous Cafe" 09.45 to be in Duxford by 10.00 hours.
Finish officialy 17.00 but nothing to stop you leaving earlier if you have a way to travel. Weather forecast looks promising. We are allocated the spot next to the Control Tower this year again right on the flightline :}

Thanks for the info! See you at the Cafe!

Worst part of the incident was the Mustang was sold and was due to leave for the USA, but the owner thought he would have one last display.

I was there it took them 30 minutes to get the pilot out of the Skyraider he was so shocked, it landed OK but the damaged wing was very visible.

It was not Ferocious Freddie, the Mustang that lives at Duxford.

I will collect the keys to our workshop at some stage before the flying starts and let you all have a look round say about 11:30??
