Milsurp After Hours

A selection of just some of the American Warbirds that gathered at this years Flying Legends Airshow, Duxford airfield, Cambridgeshire.

There were 3 B17's in attendance, "Pink Lady" from France, "Liberty Belle" from the USA, and the resident "Sally B" unfortunately in a static role.

Great pics Joe. Thanks.

Great shots Joe.

Can't understand the attraction of the P39, it's just an ugly aircraft. Its to aircraft as the MAS 36 is to rifles.
