The Lancaster and B-25 Mitchell
Dale - 26/6/11 at 04:26 PM

Just flew in yesterday morning from out west-well Regina- and trying to take a nap when the windows start rattling-
look out the window and the pair go flying over head. The local air show was on and I forgot they were there-
The airports only a couple of miles from the house and I get to see at least the lancaster a couple of times a year- they will be over the house again today.

I think the Battle Of Britain Memorial Flight would have words to say about that! There are two left flying, ours and yours. Loads of B25s (comparatively) still going.
