Thanks BBMF for overflight!

Lovely day, busy cutting hedges and during a welcome break heard steadily louder engine noises, no sign, then suddenly over the brow is the BBMF Dakota nice and low heading North from the Sussex coast.
Gave 'em a wave, but so low they were gone in a flash!
Thanks very much, presumably returning from Arnhem commemorations?
Only disappointment was no others from BBMF accompanying it!!!

Please use same flight path again (and again!!) I certainly won't be upset!!

I recently saw the BBMF Lanc overfly my house at around 200ft after a flypast at the Royal Welsh Show. It certainly made a change from the usual GR4!

Also, for the last few years coming over the Birdlip on the way back from RIAT, I've seen the BBMF "three ship" down in the Valley to the right. They are presumably heading up to BZN. It makes a lovely sight!

cheers,
Jake.
