To mark the forthcoming Duxford Air show weekend on the 3rd and 4th September, British comedian Al Murray better known as The Pub Landlord and also a presenter of historical documentaries visited The Imperial War Museum at Duxford. This was a special day for Duxford, not only could you hear the sound of Merlin engines above this World War II airfield (in this the 75th anniversary year of the Supermarine Spitfire) but the F1 Lotus Renault GB team were using Duxford's runway for one of their test days.
Celebrity Al who has been a regular visitor to Duxford for many years, was about to realise a childhood dream when he was taken flying in a two-seat Spitfire by John Romain from the Aircraft Restoration Company. Later in the day Al watched a practice display by the United States Air force F-15E Strike Eagle, which will be joined by a host of other classic aircraft at the weekend.
