Both shows are well worth attending, although the billings seem to
have crossed over here - the *real* show for warbird gurus is the
Classic Fighter Display on July 14th (the September event is still
pretty good though - because of my instructing committments I'm only
planning to attend four or five airshows this year, and *both* the
Duxford events are on my list).

Last year's CFD ended with a huge formation which comprised:

	P-51 * 4
	Spitfire * 4
	Hurricane
	P-40
	BF-109 * 2
	Yak 11 * 2
	Corsair * 3
	Bearcat
	Sea Fury
	Mitchell
	Invader
	Tigercat
	Mosquito
	TBM

Just imagine the noise...
