I visited
Duxford in 2009, and it was a
most memorable experience; especially
the Sally B, the still flying B-17, part of the legendary 8th Air Force based here and elsewhere in southern England in 1943-45. Walking around Wimpole, I saw a number of Duxford planes flying about and thought I might want to visit again. We drove over to the airfield, and I walked around a bit, but it did not spark the same joy. Best to leave some wonderful memories as they are...

| Still there; it was such a privilege to see her in flight ten years ago |

A Corsair...so many planes here being renovated or reborn...so many labors of love
by old men like me, honoring their fathers... |
