Rare Sighting - BBMF in Winter

[Pontius Navigator]

Not seen the Dakota for some time but this afternoon what should appear over the treetops but the BBMF Dakota. I don't think he was over 500 feet, probably lower!

Was it chucking winter fodder or food parcels out of the door?

[Pontius Navigator]

Wander, low and slow enough.

It spent some of the season waiting for a engine so I suppose has some hours spare for training.. :)

I've heard it was en-route to pick up Philip Hammond :E

Lovely.
Ladies and Gentlemen allow me to introduce the RAF post brexit.
Cutting edge 1930's tech. So advanced that the air force only need one as it can be in all places at all times. (Well not really but if we tell you that it'll all be fine right. Much like impact assessments.)
Oh and the pensions are being cut as we can't afford them either. But be happy and wave your flags and bleat about sovereignty (which the British government explicitly stated was never lost.) Rule Britannia.

That could be truer than you think.

Was seen at Downham Market by Mrs BL around 11:30 today. She was able to see it at close quarters as other posters have noted

Is this a record? A post concerning the BBMF, on a military site, and already by post 6 we are starting moaning about Brexit.

The rest of us were moaning well before Brexit, I assure you.

I don't dispute that. I was merely wondering what the heck it had to do with the BBMF Dakota? I understand irony, but is this ironic, in context? I must be getting old.

I was attempting to do irony.
