    Last weekends' showery May airshow at Duxford saw a rather sad farewell to a great UK airshow favourite, B-25 'Grumpy'. Formerly operated by The Fighter Collection, it has been idle for a couple of years after beingsold to a US collector . It's now been flight-prepared by John Romain's Arco company at Duxford.

    John Romain himself took the controls to open the display and gave a superb demonstration, allowing enthusiasts to savour the sight and sound of this fine old aircraft before the last flying B-25 in the UK departs for the US....

    Schön Martin, as usual, you must have a good camera to be able to get that close air shot.
