The Lancaster has just flown over the workshop... lovely, lovely sound. She's out on her own, no covering fighters.

It's not on the list for WSM (that I can see), so I wonder where that's heading off to.

I think she is a busy lady these days,we have Sally B and the BBMF advertised so never know.
i have seen her overhead before and as you say...what a sight/noise :-)

Driving along a nice road on the side of a valley in wales..
Got 'overtaken' by the Dakota

Lower than we were, being chased by a helicopter with a cameraman hanging out of the door

Made for a memorable trip

Had that happen to me in Wales - driving along near the bottom of a valley, when the kids suddenly shouted out. Got passed by an A10 at roughly the same altitude as me!

i dont think the Dakota was known for her speed but there are some still used today in south America for freight,tough old bird and still pretty

I think I saw the Dakota last year at armed forces day in Weston, flying very low around the square by the hotel. was amazing how close it was.

Used to see a lot of cool fly pasts from here in Filton but not so much since they took out the runway at the air port, Still a lot of Helicopters though unfortunately.

For information There are supposed to be two Lancaster's at Dawlish air-show this year towards the end of August
The second one is being flown over from Canada
Rare site indeed !!

Dawlish eh...not too far from here


pjay - 21/6/14 at 10:30 AM

Looks like they'll both be at Dunsfold as well - caught my attention as a rare sight to see.
