A lovely start to the 2023 season today, albeit with a very short 1 hour 15 minute flying display. It was certainly fun to be filming and livestreaming again.

Three standout highlights.
1 - The Turb Team flying the first part of their display with the aircraft tied together at the wingtips, I haven't seem them do that before!
2 - Pete Kynsey's Bucker Jungmann solo was simply sublime, one of the best vintage aerobatic displays I can recall ever seeing
3 - The Spitfire/Buchon tailchase was vintage Duxford. It was just a three-ship sequence, but in many ways it was more photogenic than the mass formation warbird displays that Duxford puts up at its larger events

PlanesTV will livestream the next Duxford Flying Day for free on the 4th of June, although I won't be on the team that day, as I have commitments elsewhere.

Some slow-motion clips from last weekend. It was a multi-cam livestream but it looks like all these came off my camera.
