A rare sight!
I was in Class G yesterday, transitting from East Anglia to the Midlands. I'd read the NOTAMS and had been terminated by Lakenheath Radar, so was monitoring Wyton as I passed a few miles to the South.
I'd spotted quite a lot of traffic and was keeping a vigilant look-out, 1800' agl.
All of a sudden I saw the shadow of a large aircraft on the ground half a mile ahead. It was coming straight towards me. I lowered the nose, raised the nose, rolled left and right but still couldn't see the aircraft. I was beginning to get seriously concerned and repeated my maneouvering and then spotted a 4 engine bomber about a thousand feet beneath me and about 50 yards on my 2 o'clock. The camouflage really made it quite hard to spot and despite explaining where and what it was, my pax hadn't seen it so I half-Cubaned
and positioned it in the cabane triangle.
Not too often that you get to look down on Europe's only airworthy Lancaster!
Even from half a mile away (slant) it is a large and imposing beastie!
I think that BBMF is a great institution!
