Great job guys, I should have got on this a little earlier but there's always next year. I got two good flights with the Spitfire in and one with my P51D Big Beautiful Doll. Wind came up so I played around in it with P-1, got close to hovering in it, then called it a day. Pretty good conditions this morning, had three novice flyers out and was giving them a hand, I love helping others learn the ropes, feels good to give back.

Subsequently Duxford was turned over to the USAAF as a base for 8th Air Force escort fighters. The 78th fighter group was based there late in the war and the C/O, Col. John Landers, flew as his personal aircraft the P51D WZ-I (Big Beautiful Doll).

Still waiting for an ME 109E or Buchon....
