IWM Duxford Air Shows and Flying Days 2022
Today was a delightful start to the season with some stunning displays and perfect weather. PlanesTV livestreamed the show free to view and Iain (very bravely, I thought) let me take control of the main camera for the first time. Needless to say, the first few minutes are a bit scrappy but it cleaned up by the second or third act. The full stream is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKa_CEqKUnY
The standout for me was the Bucker Jungmann flown by Anna Walker with a nice mix of complex aerobatics - snap rolls, rolling circles and so on - as well as some very low passes. It joined up briefly with Pete Kynsey in the LeVier Cosmic Wind which is surely one of the most technically impressive acts on the circuit, featuring such manoeuvres as a 16-point roll and a vertical eight in an aircraft that has only 100hp and wasn't even designed with aerobatics in mind.
Peter Kuypers put on a nice show in the Beech Staggerwing, fresh out of four decades in storage, and joined up with Plane Sailing's Catalina for several unusual and much appreciated flybys in formation. HAC's Hawker Nimrod was another fairly rare airshow participant, flying alongside its younger cousin, the Hurricane. Finally, the closing sequence featured formation flybys, a tailchase and short solo routine by TFC's Spitfire Mk.Vb and Ultimate Fighters' Buchon. Some highlights below from a lovely day in the sun, here's to much more of the same as the season goes on.
A few clips that caught my eye:

For 2022, Duxford has six Flying Days planned alongside the two major airshows plus the Flying Evening and Flying Finale in October. The VE-Day Flying Day opened Duxford summer long season of air displays featuring a number of home-based warbirds and aerobatic aircraft. A full review and image gallery can be found HERE

Belgian NH90 has cancelled its participation in the Duxford Summer Airshow, according to their updated schedule.
That show is sorely in need of a headline act.

mperial War Museum Duxford’s first major two-day air display of the year, the Summer Air Show, took place in mid-June. As in previous years, this first major airshow of the year steered away from a warbird themed event and presented a varied mix of civilian operated displays from across the UK and Europe mixed in with some military displays. One of the highlights of this show were the Fokker Four team from the Netherlands visiting Duxford for the first time with their delightful display in four Fokker S-11 Instructors. A full image gallery and review can be found HERE.
