BBMF Lancaster over Marchwood??
Looked out on the balcony having heard a low flying aircraft go directly over the house.
Just saw the back end of it but looked like a Lancaster.
T'was about 1000' heading in a northerly direction, over Marchwood at 1700.
Cracking sight - was this flying due to Cowes week or something?

Tabs please !
It pootled along over North Somerset about 16:00. Lovely 
Around 60 years ago, an OCU Lancaster flew down to Somerset from Kinloss on a particularly urgent mission......
....to deliver Spey salmon for a dining-in night at RAF Merryfield. But in doing so, apparently it hopped down the runway in ever-increasing bounces until the QFI took control..
