Anyone going to Flying Legends, Duxford or RIAT, Fairford this weekend?

Took loads of pics, Jack, but they need some post-treatment. Since I'm still in the UK, I can't do that right now. The online photos I saw of Flying Legends show that the weather was better on the Sunday than on Saturday when I was there.... Ah, well.......

I really like the Sea Fury in Fury prototype colours, hmm perhaps I will repaint my Hobbycraft model.

The Sea Fury is always a highlight of the show for me.

That Airbus A400, did it have a certain actor strapped to it by any chance?

I thought that 1 or 2 years ago it had a 4-blade prop?

There are a few of them around - I think the 4-bladed prop ones have Pratt & Whitney engines fitted, the five bladed ones are the original Centaurus, (which are much rarer and more difficult to maintain engines).
