Absent from the line up at Legends and leaving a huge hole in the display, was the Fighter Collection.

Evidently, following an audit of of the Fighter Collection in October 2008 the CAA wasn't happy with both some modifications and the use of alternative parts and materials which, in the CAA's words, had not been proerly validated. The CAA say they were also concerned by the lack of records detailing how some of the changes were accomplished.

The CAA says that for safety reasons certain aircraft are grounded until such time as the organisation can show the CAA how the work was undertaken and have completed any remedial work required.

But apart from that the event was as eye catching as ever with some great displays especially from Steve Hinton in the newly acquired Sea Fury T20 recently assembled at Duxford.
