Duxford Spring Airshow 16th May 2010

Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Weekend

Page 2 of 6

The first major show of 2010 again held at Duxford Airfield in mid May.

The weather in the morning was good, if a bit cold but it did deteriorate somewhat in the afternoon.

Luckily this still allowed for a full programme of flying.

The display finished at around 5PM and it turned out to be a thoroughly enjoyable day.

Highlights of the day were the Battle of Britain combinations which Duxford is famous for,

this included the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress 'Sally B', numerous Spitfires and Hurricanes,

together with a BBMF Douglas DC-3 Dakota, various marks of Provost,

jet aircraft from the Post War era and current RAF types including

BAe Hawk T.1A's and Shorts Tucanos. Also on static was Duxford's own

Eurofighter Typhoon ZH590 DA4.
