After a brisk walk along an annoyingly noisy highway, and across a motorway, I am waiting for the Imperial War Museum #IWM #Duxford to open. Public transport here could be much better. There is one bus line from the nearest railway station at fairly random times. The first, bus here is long after the museum opens and the last bus leaves long before it closes.

If you ask me this is the most beautiful aircraft ever built! The Lockheed SR-71 ‘Blackbird’

Took a couple of photos this afternoon at Duxford. Stunning light mixed with fog in the distance.

Fans of #social and #economic #history might be interested in poor labourers being paid (literally) in small beer, plus a cameo by the rather ominous #JohnBarleycorn, for all you #folklore types out there.
But in the main, this is about a village with nine(!) #pubs and the two men whose lives are now centred on its #localhistory.

B-17G 'Sally B' , the only active B-17 in #Europe. This famous aircraft is based at #ImperialWarMuseum #Duxford #Airfield, and ably supported by a wonderful crew & engineers & many other volunteers, headed by Ellie Sallingboe.

Hawker Nimrod II, (1934). This superb restoration by the #HistoricAircraftCompany at #Duxford, is one of the elegant #biplane designs from the #Hawker stable. Powered by a #RollsRoyce #Kestrel engine, this fleet #fighter served the #RoyalNavy well. #ImperialWarMuseum #museum #navalaviation #aviationphotography #aviation #HAC #history #photography

A replica #HawkerHurricane, built at Pinewood Studios for the 1969 film #TheBattleOfBritain, is seen flying over the airfield at the #ImperialWarMuseum at #Duxford in Cambridge, UK. In the foreground is the cockpit of a US Air Force #B17Bomber parked on the ground.

The Fairey Swordfish was a classic #biplane torpedo-bomber, used by the #RoyalNavy. Surprisingly, one of the last users was No. 119 Sqn, #RoyalAirForce, which exploited the type's slow speed and ASV #radar to hunt #EBoats and #German midget #submarines, at night, off the #Dutch coast in the closing months of #WW2. This example is displayed at the #ImperialWarMuseum, #Duxford #aircraft #SecondWorldWar #museum

So sad re Carolyn Grace. She flew the Grace Spitfire based @IWMDuxford at many airshows, both public and private, up and down the UK. She has flown in numerous large celebratory #Spitfire Formations including at #Duxford Diamond 16, ‘Big Wing' Formation with 23 Spitfires. #RIP
