Other than the CWH's Avro Lancaster in August, we in the UK are also due a couple more heavies from across the pond this year to take part in various events, those being a pair of Douglas C-47 Skytrain/Dakotas, one from Oxford, Connecticut and another from Geneseo, New York, which are coming over here to be part of the D-Day 70th Anniversary commemorations this spring. From what I gather it seems one of them arrived at Coventry yesterday after the flight across. That being the Tradewind Aviation example from Oxford, Connecticut. There is a photograph of her here in the UK at Coventry having just arrived.

I shall hopefully be seeing her at IWM Duxford on the 24th and 25th May, at the museum's D-Day airshow along with the New York example and three more from the UK. Looks like it's going to be a great show. Fingers crossed for decent weather.

A little bit of a challege
I have taken on the task of trying to count every single warbird that I have seen actually airborne in my time attending airshows. An almost impossible task seeing as the definition of a warbird is not always that clear, but I'll do my best. The only way I can think of doing this, is to literally just list them by type and try to remember which examples I've seen.
Starting with mustangs I have seen the following examples in the air. I will update this journal over time with other aircraft types.
North American Mustang
North American A-36 Apache "Jeannie Todd" (Currently resides in the US)
North American P-51B Mustang "Berlin Express"

Flying Legends 2019.
So the build up to Flying Legends 2019 has started this week with some initial participants being announced. Of course it is early still, so there is nothing that we wouldn't expect in this list yet, but of course more participants are likely to be added between now and July. As always I will keep this list updated, more for my own excitement than anybody else's. :D

The one from Geneseo is now on the way there. I would love to be able to see the reenactments there.
