More Duxford pics...

Late again 
Thought I better get these up here before i disappear on hols for a week & a bit
As mentioned elsewhere, I didnt take many plane pics as I've done that on previous visits, and didnt see any point duplicating as pretty much all of the exhibits are the same as 2 - 3 years ago. Still worth looking round tho
Bit light on the outdoor, aerial 'action' shots too but my excuse was that most of the flying was between where we were and the sun, so if you wanted to photograph a plane passing over the airfield, you had to do it looking into the sun
First time I'd been there on a weekday and I was surprised how little there was going on in the restoration hangars - i suppose the work we've seen being done on previous visits was by the volunteers who are only there at weekends.... worth bearing in mind for future visits, as it a adds a lot to the visit imho
Apologies for any duplicates, but as I didnt take that many, thought I may as well stick em up...
Met up with a few pre-arranged, and a few pleasant surprises in the nearby(ish) Tesco car park. Gave the early morning shoppers something to look at, or complain about, depending on their point of view..
l-r : Martin (Blue's mate), John S, Jem (back to the camera), Blue (w/hat), John R, Bob (Knightcharger), Steve (Allkiller), Stu(twin), Paul, RobTwin Jr (Andrew). Autofetish & Pete W were hiding at the back somewhere, prob looking for kickdown linkages
