Aircraft Flown Into Duxford

[John]

I think one of the last to get in, before the runway was truncated was G-AXDN

Good set of photos.

I have seen at least 3 aircraft delivered to Duxford, they are the Britannia which was delivered on one of the Air Display days, the B29 'Hawg Wild' and Concorde.
IIRC Concorde did a high flyby, approach and go round and a final landing. I think it used a brake parachute to reduce the landing roll. I'll dig out my photos and check. I have a silent cine film of Concorde landing. Thinks to self .... I must transfer to digital!

Just remembered I have a photo of the B17 on its delivery, it was silver and registered N17E.

I realy must do some scanning and converting. As I am retired I should have time to do it.

By the way anyone know of the best way to scan slides and negatives?

I'm getting quite excited now - where are those boxes?

Eric "Tomliner" is your man for slide scanning... just don't ask him how long it took

Yes you must John! Many eager eyes await in these hallowed halls

Agree with Ben.. Eric is a good man to ask about scanning and/or Pete Pitman (PeteP) who has spent a hell of a long time archiving slides at Tangmere. You can get dedicated slide/transparancy scanners or buy a flatbed that is 'slide' capable. Whichever suits your needs best and at whatever cost you wish to pay

IIRC there was a bit of a 'push' to get all possible 'large aeroplane' fly-ins into Duxford before M11 got in the way.

BTW John, 'Screenshotworld.com' is 'open' again..

The B-29 was flown in, as was the F-111, A-10 and the Huey I seem to recall. Most of the other stuff in the American Air Museum arrived by road or slung under a US military helicopter, then reassembled.
