Douglas A-26C Invader Evening Sortie at Duxford
After arriving at Duxford a few days ago, the Invader took to the skies over Cambridgeshire for a quick evening sortie to Maddingley Cemetery. The aircraft returned for a run and break down the runway before landing and taxiing back to park at the Aircraft Restoration Company's hangars.
Today, the A-26 is at RAF Fairford, returning to Duxford this afternoon; tomorrow it will be at RAF Mildenhall and then it will make the long journey home back to Texas.

Douglas A-26C Invader arrives at Duxford
zhlédnutí 9KPřed 20 hodinami
For the first time in many years, a Douglas A-26 Invader visited Duxford Aerodrome (EGSU) in Cambridgeshire. The aircraft is N26BP, which is based in Texas but has spent the last few weeks around Europe as part of the D-Day 80 commemorations. Unfortunately it just missed out on Sywell airshow last weekend, but it’s fantastic to see it in the UK nonetheless! The aircraft is expected to remain at...

Is there a better way to conclude an airshow than to have multiple Spitfires in the sky together? Nope! Nine Spitfires of various marks (listed below) took to the skies to bring the first day of the first Sywell Airshow to an end before the evening display. The seven Merlins and two Griffons formed up as a 9-ship for several formation flypasts before breaking off into a long tail-chase. Spitfir...

To kickstart the first official Sywell Airshow, Mustang 'Jersey Jerk' and Europe's only airworthy P-47D Thunderbolt were joined by the US Air Force's F-35A Lightning II from the 495th Fighter Squadron, based at RAF Lakenheath. The three aircraft performed a series of formation flypasts before the F-35 broke away for its own little slot, which consisted of a low approach/go around and vertical c...

Brilliant design. Later configured as a corporate aircraft for Gulf/Warren Oil Co. In Tulsa
super
Thanks
Thanks for the video!
Well done to all involved and safe journey home.
What a thoroughly gorgeous plane. Even the most ardent modern aircraft fan couldn't help but be impressed with with this girl.
Fr 😮
Fantastic 🎉 what an air show !!! 🤓
Do they fly it back to Texas or put it on a ship? 🤔
She will fly home, that’s how she got here :)
Hallo das schöner flieger er flieg sauber❤❤
Loved it there on Saturday got the sunburn to prove it
Just flown over me at Madingley Hall.
Yep, just done a little local flight! Returned to Duxford.
Hear that ? ..no music!!...just engines...Brits know how to do it...thank you
Greatest Fighter of WW2
Thanks to the organisers for a fantastic show.
Lovely plane currently awaiting a new engine at DX.
In modern days the pilots would be Muslims
Simply amazing. Thank you is an understatement
one Merlin is music to the ears......eight merlins is a symphony....makes you proud.
One of my favourite twins of the era
Love those radials.
Looks like its based on the old 'Flying Legends' show at Duxford
Nice. Love the Invader. Such a sleek looking design.
Absolutely fantastic!!!
I wonder which had a greater bomb load, the Invader or Marauder?
Look it up on Wiki. Not noted for accuracy but on this it's likely to be correct. I may be wrong but I think the b25 and a26 were about the same and the marauder slightly ore. When I have chance I'll look it up myself because the answer interests me too. Just had a look at the comparison . All three are much the same with the B25 at 3000 lbs and the other 2 at 4000 though the invader could also haul an extra 1000 pounder under each wing. I hope that helps
She's a beauty!

Have to say it brought a tear to my eye thinking of the chaps who flew them in anger..

Großartige Show 👍
Wow!! What a beautiful sight so sleek looking and what a great sound,i love the sound of a Merlin,but the radials finish off the aircraft with the right look.
Great sound!
Excellent film work, thanks. We will have to come next year!
Great sound, beautiful plane
Possibly the nearest the US came to having their own version of the Mosquito? Beautiful in a different way.
Thunderbolt = Huge! Wonder if today's youngsters, will see today's aircraft, flying in 8o years time??!!
That's one hot beautiful 😊 airplane
So bad ass 👍🏼👍🏼😎😎😻😻
A magnificent sexy beast!
I couldn't watch the bi-plane wing-walking. If I'd been there I think I would have made a bee-line for the refreshment tent until it was over ...
American airpower that defended Britain
Hardly. The A26 didn't arrive in Europe until late 1944 when the pursuit of the Nazi's was well underway. The aircraft did perform well especially I the in the Italian theatre and completed many successful missions before the end of the European war in 1945. In the Pacific theatre the USAAF did not rate them very highly. General George Kenney, commander of the Far East Air Forces, is reputed to have said, "We do not want the A-26 under any circumstances as a replacement for anything."
I saw one in a hanger in Texas, a few years ago, while being worked on. Standing on the wing and just looking in on the controls, you can feel her power.
Great to be there and see one of the best air shows ever. Well done!
James Holland’s comments count be better. He’s was describing the Hawker Tempest that wasn’t at the show - when the Hawker Fury was flying! Come on James, keep up. Lingy was just the best at commenting - his Red 10 experience shone through.
JH knows his stuff, his books are superb.
Holland gives the impression of being well informed but he's a terrible blow hard.
Went on the Sunday and we both had a great day and of course the Red Arrows flew their display that day as well.
Until I'm up close I always forget just how big the P-47 is
Looks like a replacement for the flying legends show at duxford finally.
Amazing how a plane so purposeful can also be so beautiful.
She's a beauty alright.
About 40 years ago, I saw one of those planes, standing on a back area, behind the main runways at Detroit City Airport. It had been there for years before and I dont think it was in flying condition, but it still looked beautiful, fast and deadly...like it could still go back into service. I loved that plane, and I wish I could have owned it.
First time an A26 Invader back in UK since September 1980.
No. The Scandinavian Historic Flight A26 Sugarland Express visited several times in the 90's. Saw it in myself a couple of times.
At the 2001 Flying Legends display at Duxford we actually had two Invaders at once visiting, quite a lineup that year!
@@davejackson2190Likewise, she used to visit for flying legends on a fairly regular basis
