Duxford Autumn Show...The Mother Lode

[nigelb]

Kevin,

Absolutly brilliant pictures, your quite a photographer! Thanks for posting them.

Marvellous pictures!

As soon as I saw the twilight take off of the Air France DC3 I thought of that evocative piece of music "Night flight to Tangier." One can imagine mysterious characters played by Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, Ingrid Bergman, Alfie Hitchcock, Peter Laurie, 'the Third Man' or Robert Mitchum aboard, off to far lands for ulterior motives! accompaniede by suitable music but not in the intrusive music style used unnecessarily by so many TV producers today.

The only thing missing is the ubiquitous fog mixed with large amounts of cigarette smoke.. a poor soundtrack (which you actually get at Duxford) and it's in colour! ;-)

[Robin]

Is his name Neil? He did the TV series Coast. Which was really good.

Like the shots Kevin!

Edit: His name is Neil Oliver and he is an Archaeologist.

[DaveB]

I think you've hit the nail on the head there Robin ;-) He has a rare talent for being able to tell a story and complete an episode leaving you wanting more

Yep fascinating and as a 22 year old I know I am probably in a minority but I love it and have learnt so much.

Again looking at these piccies, I've got a hankering to go to Duxford again.

Great shots Kevin Whats the Aurginy ATR 72 in for Chater or a new service to Channel Islands from DUX


James

I have asked the same question James. Still not been enlightened.

[Kevin Farnell]

I believe the ATR was ferrying visitors to the show (and back), as was the DC-3.
Not sure of the destination, but the Channel Islands would be a good guess.
I've seen it at Duxford at previous diplays. Always worth strolling along the flightline after the dislpay, as there is always a lot of aircraft activity. One of the Black Cat Lynx arrived back around this time and repeated about half of his display before landing.

Nice selection Kevin. Doesn't that Pilatus PC2 photograph well.. most unusual colours coming off the polished fuse ;-) ATB

Possibly the way the photo processing software handles the lighting effects, but the exposure looks about right.
