what a sight over our house

Doesn’t Lyneham have a Families Day event on Tuesday 16th????
….a little early for the Lanc to be inbound for that,but you never know?????

…yes indeed, Red Arrows right over the top of Swindon around 1800 on Tuesday.

The sound of freedom – Four Merlins in perfect harmony.

Beats the sound of four radials any day

Unless it’s a Halifax BIII 😀

ONE DAY – MARK MY WORDS

As they should be

Dateline Lea, 10 miles from Lyneham, 1500 hrs approx, Sunday 14 August…….

Out in the garden having a barbeque – when over flies the Lanc at 500 feet – heading ENE – presumably heading back from Cardiff to Scampton ??

Spit and Hurricane flying high cover…..

Hi oag:

Myself and little bisfit had a great evening with you all,been talking to my dad to-day told him it was probaley a halifax and not a b17 in cows lane,to which he replied well what about the He 111 that got shot down as well.Ill get more info of him later 😀

Melv: Thanks for a great night, never thought flying or being on the ground as that dangerous (thinking of the polar bear story) .Well done hope to meet another time pehaps.

She’s also scheduled for BLenheim Festival of FLight on Sunday (tomorrow). If you didn’t see or hear her going into Lyneham she probably went into Brize

Speaking of Lancasters – and of my interest in Soviet/Russian aviation – did you know that the Soviets operated two ex-9 (or 617) Sqn Lancs during WWII ??

Ken

Hi Ken,

Yes, they did, there are still rumours circulating that the remains of one of these Lancs are still around in Russia. Time will tell.

Cheers
