-Duxford Tuesday 2nd January:
'Sharkmouth' was towed to Hangar 2 North this morning, to join two other Mustangs in hibernation. Many thanks to Martin C. for pointing out a connection dating back almost thirty years when Sharkmouth, Ferocious Frankie and Miss Helen were together as Cisco, Moose and Miss L for the 1989 filming of Memphis Belle. All now hangared with B-17G Sally B / Memphis Belle !
July 3rd 1989:

-Look closely at the fin - new freshly zinc (chromated) phosphated panel?
By: 2nd January 2018 at 21:58 Permalink - Edited 1st January 1970 at 01:00
-No, what you're seeing is just that the dorsal fin fillet is removed showing the section of zinc chromate below/on the vertical. What you don't see in the photo is that the whole horizontal was removed and has been undergoing repairs. https://www.flickr.com/photos/122876669@N03/38521915086/sizes/h/

-Contents of H2N dragged out as I arrived at a wet DX this morning, so grabbed some quick snaps of the P-51s...
Miss Helen's rear end for those wondering...
Caught 3 x T9s sheltering from the weather in H3...
...and NH341 "Elizabeth" tucked up in H2N - now reunited with her Merlin.

-Thought to be the first warbird flight of the year at Duxford this morning when Spitfire TR9 was up for 3 sorties.

-Duxford Friday 5th January:
It was indeed glorious to see a Spitfire out and about despite the bitter January weather:
Also for our entertainment, Sea Fury WG655 was out for an engine run or two:
However, the highlight was a first glimpse of ARC's latest masterpiece, BBMF Chipmunk T.10 WG486 now in Bristol UAS markings and looking ready for another 'first flight'. Entered RAF service a mere 66 years ago!

-I quite like the markings on the Chipmunk! A very interesting aircraft to look at, and it looks fantastic.
