John,
Subject to 'day off'..... would be interested but only able to confirm 4 weeks prior to event.......
I did attend R11 event there in Spring 2010 with weather similar to our current climate so will hopefully be due some sunshine in August[
]
Good day out
Paul
Now confirmed to ' will be there' subject to this awful weather changng as it's a bit like silverstone if adverse.....
If I remember correctly, if you're approaching from A10/Royston along A505 tou have to continue past entrance up to M11, circumnavigate the roundabout to come back along A505
John, could we possibly turn this into our annual feast?

John,
Thankyou for picking up on this event, hope you don't mind an interloper from R25 joining you! Cora and I thoroughly enjoyed the recent one, there was so much to see. We basically saw most of the IWM hangers etc and ignored most of the cars on display! Lots of walking.

The signposting is very good after you come off the M11. The car club entrance is a surprising distance past the main entrance - we were starting to worry that we'd missed a signpost! Just goes to show how big Duxford is - it's a heck of a hike from the Land Warfare hangar at one end to the main entrance and history hangar at the other, so wear comfortable walking shoes!!
Just after I started this rabbit running, I found out about the Blenheim Palace do a couple of weeks later. Can't really do both, so thinking we'll probably miss Duxford in favour of Blenheim Palace (which we've never visited). Apologies - but at least the club will have a presence at Duxford, we're sure everyone will enjoy it (provided the weather behaves!).
