Lancaster sunday 26th Aug.

The Lancaster was part of the Little Gransden airshow, and made a very special tribute to the 405 Pathfinder squadron who opertated out of the airstrip during the war. On sunday four ex servicemen lowered their squadron flags as the Lancaster flew past and the local Priest read a service of rememberence accompanied by the noise of the approaching engines. As the service drew to a close the Canadian Pathfinders flew past in their Aurora, flown over from Germany, to mark the occaision.
The sight of the Lancaster holding in the distance while it waited for the men to proudly marched on to the edge of the runway was very moving.
