"Year of the Hurricanes"

More then a few of these.....

Beautiful.

Nice but I was more impressed with the Blenheim, Hurricanes, Spitfires and Gladiator formation. Far more representative rather than just one type.

It will be a while until I get to those so I will leave you with these for now...

Sure would like to see a Beaufighter and Fairey Battle restored to fly someday!

Sure would like to see a Beaufighter and Fairey Battle restored to fly someday!

Not sure about the Battle but the Beau's on the comeback: one at Duxford stalled by engines/props, and two or three in Australia where they're doing the engines on-site.

Great photos of a very special event!

Did not fly. I think brake issues as the wheels were pulled on Monday in their hanger.

[Jeff Hunt]

An amazing location and amazing aircraft just too bad the lighting is brutal the whole day. You have done a wonderful job capturing these beauties!

Thanks for posting all these great photos Ken
I love the cat sequence.
They're sure are a lot of beautiful rare machines that visit Duxford on a regular basis.

Just realize I didn't post any of the Catalina that have the floats down. This was the first time for me seeing one in the air.
