BBMF did a lot of circuits over Horncastle yesterday, with a camera ship – I would guess it was for the latest brochure as PA474 made several passes, later ZA947, Then 3 Spits and The Hurricane which must have been LF363 – presumably 2 of the Spits are grounded atm?
Love to see the pictures.

May the ‘Force’ be with both him and his brother! 😉
I was stood a mere 20 feet away from him when he landed, and was watching the footage that was shot on a small monitor with a member of the BBC crew, just inside the hangar door.
According to the BBC man, it will be ahown in 2012 around the time Her Majesty The Queen unveils the Bomber Command memorial.

The BBMF needs every bit of publicity that is offered or arranged. Manywho read this forum know a lot about the flight, however the general public is not well informed regarding who pays for it and why it exists.
Every new supporter is of value to help keep the flight for the future. I will never take its existence for granted.

Wonder who gets the free ride this time!. 😀
I do get fed up with this constant sniping and whining about ‘free rides’
You folks just don’t get it, do you? (not speaking to you directly PanzerJohn, but generally to all of the providers of ‘background noise’ on this subject every time it comes up)
Putting a celebrity in a vintage aircraft gains national tv or newspaper coverage for the event or operator in question.
Putting a random internet poster (who sits behind a keyboard and seems to think they have some kind of entitlement just because they are interested in old aeroplanes) in the seat gains them nothing whatsoever.
If anyone out there really wants to ride in vintage aircraft, the answer is to either work as a volunteer on a regular basis with an organisation which operates such types, or put yourself out there and write about them for a recognised publication, giving some worthwhile publicity for the operator. From experience, both methods have worked for me. What’s stopping any of you out there doing the same?

Perhaps a famous actor who did a Battle of Britain documentary programme last year?

I believe it was a BBC camera crew getting some air to air footage for a forthcoming documentary.
