We just received word that the The Fighter Collection, in consultation with their hosts at the Imperial War Museum’s Duxford Aerodrome, have cancelled the Flying Legends air show which was due to take place over the weekend of July 11/12. Given how much the global pandemic has disrupted almost every aspect of daily life, this should not come as a real surprise, of course. Rather than postpone the event, perhaps the finest of its kind anywhere in the world, the organizers considered cancellation to be the wiser option. True to form, The Fighter Collection made their announcement in a superbly tailored video…

Here is to 2021 already… and a brighter, healthier world…

Be well everyone!
