So, it's about 1 p.m. today and I'm sat in front of my computer then, suddenly, there's a LOT of engine noise. So I dive out of the front door and look up and there's a Lancaster straight above me (I say about 250 but more likely 500 ft.). With a DC3 just off to the right. (And a couple of fighters a bit off to the north. I did wonder where the Hurricane and Spitfire were)

It's just that yesterday we (Madsmum and I) were round at a mates for a barbie and, during the afternoon, there was lots of engine noise which turned out to be a DC3 and a Hurricane. Magic, we thought (we couldn't see them that well because of trees). Then 1/2 hour later I scared my wife to death by suddenly standing up in front of her, pointing over her head, and shouting 'Lancaster' at her. Because we now had the full BBMF heading towards us.

Some weekends turn out better than others.
