	Imperial War Museum at Duxford
		However, if you have the time to get up to Duxford, which is near Cambridge, then not only can you visit Cambridge, but if you time things right then you can visit the Imperial War Museum and see one of the airshows at Duxford.
		Duxford has an excellent selection of aircraft, including quite a few which you won't see at Hendon; however, Hendon definitely has better facilities than Duxford.
		However, the other main hangars are rather cramped and some of them are definitely showing their age; and sadly quite a few large historic aircraft are kept outside, exposed to the elements.

	Flightline UK - Duxford Autumn Airshow 2006 = REVIEW
		Duxford were clearly delighted and treated their French guests really very well making sure they were the stars of the show with a special banner tow from Anna Walker and her Skytricks Piper Cub and a parade in two Jeeps and Jane Larcombe's convertible Saab!!
		Duxford has found it difficult recently to get the Red Arrows to it's displays so to have the French team was a major coup for the show and they had the honour of opening the show.
		Duxford once again managed to surpass themselves with the Autumn Airshow, undoubtedly their best offering of the year and considering the quality of those just shows how good this show was.

	Duxford
		Duxford has been a second home for me for many a year and for lovers of old aeroplanes it really is a Mecca.

		With the vast acreage of grass at Duxford I found it quite difficult to find the start of the runway and needed some guidance by Rob as to where to taxi.

	UK Airshow Review - "Duxford Victorious" - Duxford VE Day Anniversary Air Show
		Celebrating sixty years since the end of hostilities in Europe, the Imperial War Museum at Duxford couldn't have expected to be faced with a battle of their own in attempting to put on an air display in the face of strong gusting winds and torrential downpours.
		Like myself, many of the attendees at the Duxford VE Day Anniversary Air Show will have read in the aviation press over the dark winter months of the news of the latest restorations and imports to the UK Warbird scene and been hopeful of being amongst the first to see them in the air.
		The next major airshow at Duxford is the world famous Flying Legends to be held on July 9 and 10, hopefully in better conditions.

	Flying Legends Airshow by Tony Oliver
		For anyone contemplating a visit to Duxford this year or if you've planned your trip already, here is a taster of what's on offer at Britain's premier warbird airshow.
		The atmosphere at Duxford is one of the main attractions with people in period costume supporting the huge array of historic machinery and bringing history alive.
		To witness a trio of Hurricanes bounce across the grass and rise into the air with their rotol props rasping in coarse pitch or be blasted with the propwash as the mighty R2800's of the F7F are warmed up truly fires the imagination.
