Title: Returning a Spitfire from Fenland to Duxford
Threaded Mode
#1
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.

Very nice!
There will be some bid flights available as soon as the weather turns better over the Northern hemisphere.

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.

Here is a linky
