BBMF Lanc Ground Loop
 

Someone told me today that the BBMF Lanc had come off the runway and ground-looped while landing at its temporary home earlier this week. Is it Ok?

Nothing on a couple of other historic forums so far... hoepfully if it happened then there was no serious damage.

I thought she was supposed to have been at Flying Legends on Saturday, but the Spitfire and Hurricane came on their own... Dunno about Sunday.

Treadders, BBMF website says she was due to head north to East Fortune from Barkston last Saturday.

The BBMF Lanc ground-looped at Mildenhall in the late eighties, or very early ninties, I caught it on video.

On that occasion there was very little damage and I was later told that the lanc has Lincoln undercarriage which was designed for a heavier aircraft and is therefore stronger.

Saw all three over my parents gaff in N. Yorks Sat lunch / early afternoon. Heading north....

Good news. Apparently PA474 is now at Fairford for RIAT, so it appears that there was little damage done if any.
