Fantastic footage as always. This one is particularly helpful to me for a modelling project I'm working on. However, there is something that is confusing me. All the footage I've seen of Flying legends 2005 shows the catalyna in white. Yet here she is still in her old colours. Can you shed any light on the matter please?
Glad you enjoyed it and yes , well spotted. I checked my Legends 05 programme and it was indeed painted white at the end of May. Another anomaly was the P39 which had a lot of access panels removed but was being readied for flight at the end of the day. The explanation is sadly my camcorder was on its last legs and only recorded intermittently. The resulting last two tapes are fragmented and difficult to assess. We must have visited Duxford before the end of May and I assumed all the footage was part of the Legends Practice day. The Legends tape that will follow is quite short (camcorder Problems again) and I had to buy a mini disc camcorder as a replacement which was never as good as the old tape one! Luckily I managed to revive it and digitise the tapes as they were such great shows.
