Spring Airshow (16th May 2010) Featuring the very best of the RAF, past and present
Following on from the special event on Saturday 15 May, where visitors can mingle with members of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight and Royal Air Force on the ground, today we take to the skies for some breath-taking aerial action.
See the RAF’s glorious past in flight alongside its sophisticated contemporary aircraft at the Spring Air Show. The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight forms the centre-piece of a thrilling air show, where it shares the skies with historic Second World War aircraft and modern RAF assets.
The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight will be displaying its Lancaster, Dakota, Spitfires (x3) and Hurricanes (x2). Contemporary RAF aircraft presenting thrilling displays include the Eurofighter Typhoon and Embraer Super Tucano, whilst the SH-3S Sea King will perform a search and rescue demonstration.
The celebration of the Royal Air Force’s past and present continues on the ground with a range of interactive displays. There will be the opportunity to meet contemporary RAF personnel alongside the ghostly figures of Battle of Britain re-enactors bringing Duxford’s wartime atmosphere vividly to life.
Experience past and present in perfect harmony at this spectacular launch to IWM Duxford’s 2010 flying season.
On the ground, there will be activities for all ages, including funfair rides, bungee trampolines, tank rides and demonstrations.
