Epic.
Just epic.
Just got back home from an excellent day out at Duxford.
Set off from Nottingham around 11am. Routed south of Langar, down to Desborough disused then over to Royston and join downwind for Runway 24 Duxford.
But who cares about all of that... I could bleat on about how the £15 landing fee was incredible value for money seeing as it got me access to the museum. I could wax lyrical about how my taxi instructions included 'and just wait next to the B17 Bomber for the marshaller to meet you'. I could enthuse about how a Spitfire did a run & break just after I vacated the runway before coming in to land behind me. I could even gush about how the exhibits were just awe inspiring. And I could totally fawn over the impromptu air displays including a Spitfire having way too much fun looping above the runway.
But all of that would do the day a complete disservice.
Best. Day. Ever.
