Good evening lads and ladies,
Many of us on here enjoy a good bit of aviation photography so I thought it would only be oh'natural to attempt a meet. The first weekend in July presents a good opportunity to do it. The annual Flying Legends show is always a goodin.
So,...
I have been thinking an approx meet time of 1000hrs outside the new hangar (thats the big big big one as you walk through the main entrance ticket booth). To narrow it down a little further and be more precise as you can fit 3 or 4 football pitches in the hangar shall we say,... right in the middle?
For those who are pondering over this thread and wondering what the hell I am yapping about then this is an extract from the Imperial War Museums website:
Flying Legends Air Show
Date: 7 July 2007 to 8 July 2007
Time: All Day
Location: IWM Duxford
A line up at Flying Legends
Presented by The Fighter Collection and Imperial War Museum Duxford, two days of world-class flying at Europe’s premier warbirds air show.
Surely one of the world’s greatest air shows, Flying Legends returns to Duxford for the annual and magical two-day show featuring the best of the ‘warbirds’ – classic American and European piston-engine combat aircraft – seen in an event full of sound and colour. It’s an event that just has to be experienced at first hand, as no mere description can do justice to the excitement generated by the individual and formation flying, with both days culminating in a spectacular mass flypast.
The gates will open at 8am and the flying display will start at 1.45pm
All flying is subject to serviceability, weather and operational commitments.

So then, lets see a show of hands!

EDIT: Possibly an 0900 meet? (gives loads of time to get around the displays and get the creative stuff in?)
