Great shots Rob. Thanks for posting them. Quite a lot to see there. Really nice aircraft, armor, and guns. I like the early war Mk.4 in gray, the 2 Thunderbolts, and the T-34. Is the Tiger a mock-up? Doesn't look to be original. -- Al

Thanks Al,yes a mock up for SPR Film.

Yes indeed Brad,its huge and can occupy you for hours on end.I took 311 pics!Its very popular with US visitors as you can imagine,and also fans of 'The Battle of Britain'.Wjen you stand outside the hangars you can really picture that scene in which Susannah York emerges after the Air raid to find the bodies of her friends and colleagues lined up in front of her,very stark scene.

Great set of pics Rob, cheers for taking the time to post. It's been years and years since I've been to Duxford (and Bovington, for that matter). Really must make the effort to head Souf for a day or two.

Glad you like them guys,its a great museum and well worth a visit if ever you are near enough.Being a Battle of Britain/USAAF base it also has a special feel about it,you can almost feel the history as it were.
