A sold-out crowd at IWM Duxford witnessed Spitfires, Hurricanes and a Typhoon at the historic airfield's end of season flying finale.

The flying display at the Cambridgeshire museum on Saturday, October 8 helped bring to a close Duxford's aerial events for the year in spectacular fashion.

This special flying show brought together favourite acts, old and new, to celebrate the highs of Duxford's display programme from 2022 and it didn't disappoint.

Ticket holders were able to see the RAF's awesome 'Blackjack' Typhoon in action in the skies above Duxford.


Those attending Saturday's Duxford Flying Finale were also able to witness the first-ever visit of the incredible Patrouille Suisse – the Swiss Air Force's jet aerobatic display team.

One of the highlights of the show, they wowed spectators twice during the day with their precision formation flying, treating visitors to a morning practice run ahead of their main display in the afternoon.

The Duxford flying list also included Spitfires and Hurricanes from World War Two, aircraft that also flew at September's Battle of Britain Air Show, as well as other historic warbirds.

Another memorable display was performed by Brendan O’Brien in Otto the helicopter.

The Duxford Flying Finale was followed the next day by a flying day celebrating 100 years of the British Model Flying Association.
