A B-17 and a Lancaster together, what a sight and sound

With the Catalina warming up in the background too, Duxford is a fantastic place

I have a similar thought every time I see an old warbird flying at an air show

Radials versus inline V

Sports car vs Dump truck.

Could you imagine being in Europe in 1942 and seeing 100s of the Forts flying over you? What a display of absolute power and terrifying awe.

Whenever I see a b-17, I just have to re-read about the Stigler Brown Incident.

[-]

Never knew of the incident. That was an incredible story. Thanks for your comment.

The day shift and night shift.

Covid stopped me from going to this airshow. Absolutely gutted.
