THANK, CHAPS!!
Very nice flypast of BEagle Towers by a Lancaster, 2 TypHoons and a Hawk at 1911 BST ce soir.
Thanks a lot, chaps/chapesses!

Nope, simply put the Lanc back on the active list.
Just great to see (and hear!). Two runs over my place this evening - thank you! (I know it was not for me and my memories of formations stretch to many, many more aircraft! Never mind, it was great!) Query, what was it about?

They're out touting for Beag's cash, seeing as he's cancelling the Vulcan direct debit.... 
I believe that it was a photo op flight involving 100 Squadron special scheme Hawk.
An enthusiast snapped some images at RAF Coningsby.

That's an interesting colour scheme for the Anniversary Hawk. The code letters 95 were never worn by 100 Sqn A/C though. 
(I do realise that the number is to aid the arithmetically challenged)

The Typhoons and the Lanc made an appearance at the annual Dambusters Dinner at JSCSC (there were four WW2 617 chaps there as guests, who between them can claim credit for sinking the Tirpitz and Lutzow. The flypast is staged in honour of the veterans).

Here you go Cornish-stormrider, anything to please, though I cannot fathom out why you wanted one...
Dodgy mission marks on the Hawk are a bit like a Walt wearing medals..

Thanks Nuts, wiseguy are ye?
Taxy, I am well aware of the contents of post 8 - they do not quantify as pictures (or pics, in the vernacular)
I wanted flying proof shots - the money shot if you pardon the pun.

Ah, pics of flying proof!
I'm sure as soon as BEags Box Brownie snaps have been recovered from the Chemists' we'll see the evidence.
ps Bloody Hell, you're a 'picky' bugger!
