Re: Duxford Mystery Plane Exhibit

Hi Mike - I've zoomed in as much as I can and it says 'HOLDING DOWN RINGS'' rather than WINGS. Definitely an R, not a W.

Re: Duxford Mystery Plane Exhibit

Visited the exhibition today, so here's a selection of random shots in no specific order, with Mike's requested starboard side cockpit close-ups ( or as close up as I could get them ).

:-O I would have not known which way to turn :lol:

Re: Hunter T7

Looks very nice indeed. I was flying the single-seater yesterday, and enjoying it as much as ever.

Re: Duxford Mystery Plane Exhibit

My grandsons are visiting, so I took them to Duxford just before Christmas. The exhibition was being made ready.

I also wear glasses when using the computer, and no problem at all.
