Hi Penny
Hope you had a good day at Duxford - when I lived in Cambridge, I went there a couple of times, as it was always a "good day out" with plenty to see and do...just walking around the exhibition halls was great, plus the "Airshow" was always worth seeing, as long as it wasn't raining.
One year, they had a Euro fighter visit and as it came over from the East, and as it approached the spectator viewing area, the pilot "stuck it on it's tail" and went vertical....the sound was awesome and the plane shot up so quickly, defying gravity and all - before you knew it, (in seconds) it was way, way out of sight above.
If you liked Duxford, then you might like the Little Gransden Airshow, (on 29th Aug 2021) which raises funds for Children In Need and local charities. It's a much smaller event, and they have a few flyovers from visiting aircraft of various vintages...one year I saw the Vulcan do 3 or 4 flypasts at very low altitude...at a few hundred feet, literally....I saw it on it's first approach and it looked like a flying house, it was so big !!! And as it left, the roar from it's engines was incredible...!
