After the poor weather leading up to the Flying Legends Air Display at Duxford, we were apprehensive about this display just a few miles "down the road".The forecast was awful, with lots of rain and thunderstorms throughout the day.Although we had a very heavy shower on the way, none of the awful weather appeared but viewing numbers were probably down as a result!It was, however, a little too windy for the more delicate and low-powered aircraft due to display, but the rest made up for it and the display was good.
I'm not sure how popular these aircraft are on the forum, so here is a selection from the early part of the show:
