Another potential charlie uniform could have had even greater consequences.
We wer to display at Farborough with a mixed formation, Spitfire, Hurricane and Lancaster. The BBMF was from Coltishall and we were from Waddo. We had never met or practised close formation before we met at Benson.
We formated and proceeded into the hold before making our display at Farnborough. We did a series of passes culminating in a run down the runway and a left bank 180 degree level turn to the opposite side of the crowd. As we were in the turn we flew over the hole in the hangar where a French Atlantic had gone in the day before.
What our pilot had forgotten was the formation width was rather larger than the Lancaster wing span and the Hurricane on the port, downside, was perilously close to the sheds.
We got back to Waddo in time to see our display on the TV in flying clothing.
Again we learnt about displays from that.
