Top stuff! We used to regularly try to get interesting transits to do a fly by. One day the BBMF lancaster was passing by and accepted our invitation. Meanwhile, a Monarch 720 was back-tracked ready for departure....The Lancaster came into sight running down 26 descending...And descending! With a mighty roar of four Merlins the Lancaster passed VERY close above the 720 then turned on course at the upwind end...
Probably not the same day but when 'Jacko' kindly let me have the B Aimers posn in the Lanc,we did a low flyby along the Luton Rwy -
It was June 1980 - BBMF had diverted into Abingdon (weather I think) and we routed from Abingdon via Luton,x3 displays and landed Coningsby
I was based at Abingdon at the time as a Rigger.
I have finally caught up with this thread - really interesting and with some gorgeous pics !
