Great video and informative review. Thank you. 👏👏👏👏
Cracking as always Paul! My dad was there yesterday having the spitfire experience blooming expensive he paid nearly 5k for it but he loved it
By the way I'm glad you mentioned Shoreham airshow a friend of ours sadly was one of those involved surprised that Andy hill got away with killing all of them people 😔
Excellent video as always. The Spitfire VN485, I sat in that very airframe as a 12 Yr old at RAF Kai Tak in 1975. My dad was RAF and we were. Posted there for 2 years. When I saw the aircraft again 3 years ago it felt very strange, real nostalgia. Keep. Up the excellent work.
Where is Duxford ? Tell us the county.
I never realised that some 'Stringbags' (Fairy Swordfish) were equipped with radar!
I visited Duxford for the first time this weekend, only 5 hours drive away so not quite the same as coming all the way from Australia. I think I watched your BOAC VC10 video before I visited, sadly all of the aircraft in that row were closed on the day I was there. Did you catch one of the talks from the volunteers at the Victor?
Been there for the flying legends airshow many many times. Brilliant place and staff is very nice 🙂
I went there once. The Comet was why I went. It’s great here.
Not planes Bader, aeroplanes!
Thank you for the tour. You should come to visit USAF Museum in Dayton, Ohio.
It’s too expensive.
Just awesome thanks. I’ve driven past Duxford countless times in my earlier years. Even did a flyby in a chipmunk when I was 14 and in the Air Training Corps About ten feet off the ground above the grass. Good memories
The museum in Pembroke Dock Wales devoted to the Sunderland recently had a visitor from 10 Squadron based near Adelaide.
I toured Duxford with Jeff Sturt, who was a WWII Lancaster pilot. This was many years ago but the great memories remain.
I also toured the RAF/Battle of Britain. My friend Jeff, who was a WWII Lancaster pilot, was explaining some features of the 'Lanc and he was openly getting emotional. He told me later that he was thinking of the crews that never made it home. We need to thank all military personnel, active or retired, living or dead. They deserve our respect.

Wow – this is superb. The only Victor I had seen was the front 12 feet on one at the Hendon RAF museum.
A part key of the Air to Air refueling rig for the Vulcan (used attack Port Stanley) was recovered from the Crew rest room, Where it was being used as an interesting astray.
No SR 71 black bird?
A beautifully put together summary! I flew there in my aircraft last week! It’s a great place to visit with so much to see 👍🏼
It's without a doubt the most aircraft-packed aerial museum I've ever seen. Find a way and go see it.
I want to go just to see 2 aircraft – the others sre a bonus.
1st, the TSR2.
2nd, The Gloster Javelin.
(Pity there's no Supermarine Swift, Buccaneer or Gnat)
This is not very good very boring and slow
Ive been many times, right from my early childhood thanks to an aviation enthusiast father. Back then, a fair number of exhibits were outside, B52 included and thus suffered from exposure to the elements. I think having some of the planes suspended from the ceilings is a small price to pay for knowing they'll be preserved far better. I love the USAF museum building there too.
Again thanks Paul. As I mentioned I last visited Duxford the late ‘80s and its great to see how things have changed. Oh and one thing I must say is that the Lancaster is a B.X version, built by Victory Aircraft in Toronto, Ontario, Canada just a few kilometres from there I am writing this now. Hess’ Bf 110 was on display then too (but over in a corner where I sorta touched it) and I even made a 1/72 model of this. I can’t seem to add this to the comment but if you are interested I’ll send to you. Outside some may see a “gap” between the hangars, and this was another hangar blown up for the movie “Battle of Britain”, which was partially filmed there. So looking forward to Part 2….
An interesting fact the Avro Lancaster and the Avro Vulcan were the product of Roy Chapmanm
Why not use a gimbal?
Thanks for a very informative video. I'm Australian visiting Uk now and I will going to Duxford in a few weeks time myself.👍
Thanks for sharing.
Bloody brilliant mate, and it’s great to hear an Aussie voice. Keep it up.
Great video Paul, enjoyed it. Just on the Mig-21 in China, it began as license-built, the technology transfer deal was signed in 1962.
Thank you for this video Paul. Duxford has changed a lot since my visits in 2003 & 2005. Airspace was under construction in 2005 and a lot of the aircraft were parked outside. If you ever get a chance, any of the Duxford airshows are just superb. I was lucky enough to attend Flying Legends in 2005. As an Aussie myself, Duxford is my fave place in Old Blighty.
Great video Paul, just to clarify the aircraft in Airspace can also be viewed from the balcony. This gives you a direct line of sight view to those aircraft suspended from the ceiling. The Mosquito, for example, looks great from that vantage point.
I was in saudi summer 1975, and as i remember I saw Lightnings taking off in Riyadh. Do you think this is right?
is the Concorde prototype still in duxford?
It’s so nice to see a factual, educational clip AND it’s spoken in Aussie!😂😂🇦🇺 thanks mate, love your vids.
It's a very beautiful museum. I went there in 2011. Thank you.
Beautiful informative upload per usual thank you so much from Milwaukee Wisconsin USA home of Harley Davidson Motorcycles
Thank you. Your video was brilliant. My uncle flew spits so I found you video fascinating. Safe travels.
Thanks Paul for another wonderful video cheers Bob.🦘👍👍👍👍💯
I'm not a military plane guy but this was excellent.
Wonderful exploration Paul. I went there with my father when we lived in the UK – what a great museum. On your comment about modern hypersonic missiles. They are different by not being ballistic missiles – they go up – then can turn horizontal and fly fast – and with varying trajectory making them much harder to predict than ballistic missiles. So in that sense they are new – and quite difficult (but clearly not impossible – as we have seen in Ukraine) to shoot down.
Duxford airshow is horrible now!!! No jets fighters whatsoever only old planes 😡😡😡 and they want almost 50f per ticket!!!! Waste off money
Love Duxford❤
Back in the 1980s I was a member of the Duxford Aviation Society restoring these aircraft. If you look at the Vickers Viscount 700 I did all the wiring to make the internal lights work, unlike the Brittania that had strip lights screwed to the ceiling. Back in the 1980s, most of these aircraft were outside and were looking a lot more sorry than they do now. But that was 37 years ago. I'm in the USA now, but would love to return and see for myself. Thanks for the video.
The BAC111 was the successor to the Vickers Viscount…. not the Viking! Slip of the tongue!
Not sure if it’s true but they also had to raid the mess as something they needed black buck was being used as an ash tray!
Wonderful video, thank you very much, great to see these old planes and the history.
Great Video. Many Thanks.
Has it changed much for yourself since the last one.i love it here
