Great set of pictures. Never been to Duxford but they do have a great collection!

Impressive images! There's something different about the lighting / colours that I can't put my finger on - makes everything look crisp and clean!
Interesting the way the DayGlo on the Vamp looks different on the nose and wing trailing edge! I assume this is a camera interpretation as it wasn't obvious when I looked at the aircraft last week.

Thanks for your comments, always appreciated,
All images on here and on my flickr site are shot "Raw" and processed with Nikon NX2 and to some extent Photoshop, Florescent colours are notoriously difficult to reproduce as the eye "see's" them, it seems to depend on the level of light falling on different areas of the aircraft, especially in artificial light, in real life the colour is as you remember it :)

Excellent shots, it's always good to see some new angles. You must be a Photoshop Ace, since I don't appear in any of the images....

Excellent photos, thanks for sharing. I particularly love the Double Mamba shot, did you get any other angles of it?

In the first shot of the Lancaster there appears to be a huge eye looking out of the window.........or is it just me?

Wings With Memories - First-Hand Account Of A Flight Aboard A Consolidated B-24 Liberator
(Frequent ANN contributor David Juwel had the opportunity recently to take a flight in a Consolidated B-24 Liberator, which remains the sole flying example of a B-24 Liberator left in the world. The aircraft is operated by The Collings Foundation. He offers this first-hand account.)
Prior to the flight I had the opportunity to talk to an actual B-24 pilot from WWII. His name is George Able and he is 90-years old. George was an instrument instructor pilot assigned to the 19th Bombardment Squadron. He flew missions at least twice a week while operating in the New Guinea and Okinawa region.
