What a surprise - Lancaster

Portinscale, Keswick. 10.00. 4/916 A Lancaster at 1200' or so, under the 8/8 cloudbase, heading up Bassenthwaite doing a good impression of a Hercules. I must tell someone!

Nice to see she's back in the air.
Some nice pictures in the press today.

She was grounded in the BBMF hangar with engine woes when I visited a few weeks back.
In fact, she wasn't the only one in the hangar grounded with engine problems!








And a gratuitous shot just because I like it:

Was the wind high/gusty? BBMF didn't make Blackpool one day due to winds being too high (20kts plus gusts and onshore, too).
