Don't know about the R/A's but I passed the BBMF last summer, same altitude, 2 miles to North of them in the narrow corridor between LGW and LHR, all of us under control of Farnborough Radar who advised me "3, a/c same altitude opposite direction 2 miles South". Didn't realise it was them first, but then as they got nearer, I thought, that sure looks like a Lancaster Bomber - but then passed it off as being a figment of my imagination, but alas it was. My friend had his camera on his lap with a 400mm lense, but unfortunately he was on the wrong side of the C152 to get any shots. The Spit and Hurricane started climbing and decending behind the Lanc when they saw us. Was one of the best moments in my short flying career !!.
