I tell you a couple of things I would really like to see!

The Blenheim get back into the air but that's a long shot!

I would love to see the cats get back in the air (Hellcat and Wildcat)

Oh right, actually thinking about it that sounds about right! I remember being at Duxford when I was a kid and seeing both the Lysander and Blenheim fly fomation displays! Those were the days when Black 6 was on the display circuit! Can't wait to see them back in the air :thumbs:

Yes, although gone from the Cambridge skies, at least, alot of people worked hard to show it to us, and they did, whenever they could, and who can forget those, great air-to-air shots of it by Mr Dibbs and co. Black 6, what an aeroplane indeed. But at least we got to see it. But, you never know what the future holds !! I've cannot believe the stuff we have been treated to at Legends and DX in general, there's aeroplanes, I never thought I'd see, thanks to warbird owners taking time, to show us their 'pride and joy's. And now talk of a possible 'Zero', if thats to be true, in 2012. The future's still DX !!

Gary.

Couldn't agree more. Great place, great people, great aeroplanes and great flying! :thumbs:

If the weather is good you could always go on the Friday, normal museum admission charges, for arrivals and practice.

"From the UKAR thread."

Would this be the same forum that last year reported a Me262 over Biggin Hill, a Sea Hornet was due, that anyone who dares view from the outside should be shot, and thinks Flying legends is the best show in the world and gets better every year regardless what turns up? Just checking... :whistle:
