Returning a Spitfire from Fenland to Duxford - Guest - 03-02-2008 Well the last flight of a fine Sunday's flying. I have been lucky enough to be asked to return a Supermarine Spitfire to Duxford, a short 25 minute hop to the south. I have just left Fenland airfield - you should hear this plane roar! Although a little hazy, the weather has picked up since I flew into Fenland earlier on. I must of took me less than a minute to climb up to 3oooft - a big difference from my Stationair. I'd wave at the camera if I could release my grip from the controls. This is a VFR flight and I spot Duxford through the haze and turn towards my destination. I decide to flyby Duxford - the urge to show off is too great! Here is Duxford, I have been here as a spectator at airshows in the past. I think I have their attention, time to turn around and land this baby. Running parallel to the runways I prepare to come in on the grass strip of Rwy21. Down in one piece, this is one Sunday I won't forget. This 3 leg flight was great fun and a great way to spend a Sunday. It cost me a few quid in fees but was well worth it. It'll be back to flying scheduled flights tomorrow to earn more money to fund my next daytrip. - AS275 - 03-03-2008 That is a really nice set of images Darren. Thanks for sharing. - AS380 Mark Richards - 03-03-2008 Excellent shots. What model is it please?? - as099mw - 03-03-2008 Very nice! There will be some bid flights available as soon as the weather turns better over the Northern hemisphere. - Guest - 03-03-2008 Hey, thanks for the feedback on my images, I am really pleased with these ones as they are a little different from the usual 'heavies'. The plane was made by RealAir and is fantastic. The airfile seems spot on to me, it feels like nothing else I have flown in FS, and the sound is incredible, really incredible.
