BBMF Dakota spotted

Tend to see me dinner again on the dak, even bbmf veterans like fluffy love to blow chunks on the dak. FLYING SICK BAG

You should have tried flying in the bomber before the heat exchanger was sorted out, there’s nothing like 180 mph exhaust fumes to induce a technicolour yawn. Oh happy days….

no1 engine required changing by the engine dudes, job done. Test flew today, one of the lads has been thrashing ps (mkxix) to within an inch of its life for the last two days setting the engine up so that should be flying soon.

Anybody know why the Lancaster was’nt flying?

Well I have to say that’s a pretty comprehensive and well illustrated answer to my original question – Thanks very much everybody – especially the BBMF and in particular Usernamechanged!

The engine dudes are changing the lastic band in her, shoudnt be long before she’s up an running again.

Saw the Mk.II at Silverstone yesterday. No Hurricane alongside though…. is PZ865 out of action at the moment?

These aerial pics from the BBMF are like golddust…. Thanks guys and keep ’em coming!

the only aircraft ever to do that to me is the dear old chipmunk, on saying that though i almost chucked it after some austrian beer then flying in rough turbulance in a cesspit 172 in Slovinia 😮 (wasn’t drunk though, just had beer on an empty stomach 😮 and didn’t have paws on the controls so the beer was allowed 🙂 )

Much movement over Finchingfield last few days, friday afternoon P-47 nearly removed roof going very fast closely followed by Hellcat and Wildcat, 2 other a/c then passed on other side of village, possibly P-51’s all heading south.
Yesterday afternoon spitfire and hurricane flying very close heading north, Easyjet had a good view.

We are so lucky to have you BBMF guys on the forum, what excellent images! Thankyou!

Thanks for posting the pictures. It was a nice to see the Dak – made my day.

I also took two poor quality shots! – Snap! I was on the A171 (I think) on my way to the A1.

I saw it too. It had just flown over the Yorkshire Air Museum at Elvington (they had a classic vehicle event on) then it headed towards Thirsk. I took a photo (poor quality but in my defence – I was the passenger in a moving car!) I can confirm though it was the BBMF one.

been up to Sunderland I believe… Neil

i saw what i thought to be a dak too, i was on the M62 aproching the A1 turn off. it was heading roughly towards Doncaster, unfortunatly it was at some distance so i couldnt see any markings.
