Heard the throaty roar, knew what it was, and only caught a Spit and Hurricane, I'm getting old I reckon. I'm sitting in the back garden on 14th if its to be a repeat.

I do like how the BBMF website appear to have adopted the nose art names for the Lanc and others and tell their story.

2 Lancs and 3 Spitfires in formation over Goodwood for the Revival Weekend. Earlier today there were 2 Hurricanes, 3 Spitfires and an ME109 flying in formation. Wonderful sounds!

NutLoose 13th Sep 2014 21:15

And there'll be three Lancs at East Kirkby tomorrow...

Nutloose.... Pprune at Ten reporting from a near by B & B :p

Not quite as loud as the BRM V16 though!

A nice shot from the Telegraph today:

However many people tried to get into Duxford today and were disappointed - other than me that is! In the P&R at about 1000, 25 mins into queue for P&R ticket machine when told gates were closed. After some thought and an abortive try for one possivle vantage point, ended up on the verge by a roundabout at Sawston. Great head-on view when they arrived, and some good crossing shots. Afternoon enhanced by being parked next to a car in which a guy had brought his 92+ year old mother, who had been a WAAF at Scampton on the night of the dams raid. Had an interesting take on the death of the dog we cannot name. Promised to e-mail them some pics. Glad I went - and in future I shall be less critical of those watching airshows from the roadside. Thanks BBMF and the Canadian warplane Heritage

Really nice pics there Nutty ... Well done and thanks for sharing with us :ok:

54Phan 16th Sep 2014 15:12

Nice pictures, Nutloose, as is normal. I wonder if the Committee Against Aviation would have any qualms about Jane flying with that H2S blister?

NutLoose 18th Sep 2014 11:07

Two Lancs to do the dams, chances of getting near........... slim

Iconic and Unique 2 Lancaster Flypast!

CoffmanStarter 18th Sep 2014 12:39

Now ... If it had been the German Dams ... :E

Agaricus bisporus 18th Sep 2014 23:02

Just two Lancs...

If you were the hand on the throttles of Just Jane in that photo how tempted would you be to just get a foot of air under the wheels for the cameras, and sod ever being invited back?

I certainly know what I'd do.

Hopefully Nutty will be there with his camera ;)

NutLoose 21st Sep 2014 11:42

Not going, getting anywhere near was going to be grief and having seen it twice I thought if I don't clog up the road it may give someone else the chance.

CoffmanStarter 21st Sep 2014 11:59

Fair do's ... Hopefully someone will post some pics IDC :ok:

Derwent flyby
 
Thanks V1, hope to see your pix.

BBC News - Lancaster bombers flypast at 'Dambusters' Derwent Dam

Wwwop 21st Sep 2014 17:40

Derwent flypast took place followed by one run over Chatsworth. Superb! :D

A small but very enthusiastic crowd was at Chatsworth. We hadn't planned to go anywhere near Derwent preferring a lurk near J29 on the M1 instead. However, a BBMF tweet early afternoon mentioning Chatsworth got us up and out over the hills to the big House. Plenty of space.

Vera starts her journey home on Tuesday.

Wwwop's daughter.

A pleasure GD :ok:

My daughter who was at Chatsworth phoned me this afternoon as the two Lancasters flew over - so I could hear them.

That was a lovely thing to do. It is a long time since I sat on the RH mainwheel on Thumper holding the trolley acc connected (1971).

NutLoose 22nd Sep 2014 12:23

Filmed from both Lanc's, just look at the traffic!!!
