Duxford Air Festival Day One










The display opened with the P-47.  When the wing-walker Stearman planes took off, they used their smoke and (check the windsock) the southerly wind blew diesel smoke at the crowd, and for a while we could not see the other end of the airfield (as in the top pic).  After the Swordfish took off, Lt-Cdr Gotke in the Hawker Sea Fury turned his 2300 hp fan at the crowd and enjoyed some banter with the photographers at the western end of the field.  The show was closed by the C-47.
