BBMF Lancaster on Saturday

Hi all,

Yes the Lanc was over here with a Spitfire escort, just the once though. She did a quick couple of circuits over the gala at Calow school before dashing off back over towards Lincolnshire. Got a spectacular view of it from my back garden.

Apparently they do a flypast for the gala every year, last year it was the Dakota and the year before the Lanc.

Best regards

Thanks, Fluffy, I hoped you’d see it.

Fluffy, although a change is still a way off yet, do the BBMF ground crew/personnel ever have an inkling of what the Lanc’s new markings will be each time? I mean, how much of a ‘secret’ is it when it’s due?

Cheers!

Mike

(PS Hendon’s ‘S-Sugar’ please!!!) 😉

The Spitfire on sat was the Mk9 MK356 and yes the Dak is U/S with an engine change, hopefully she will be flying again on the
20/5/03

OOOOPPPPss.

Sorry guys, it was early in the morning for me..!

B:confused: 😮 😮 😮

It does, or rather, that’s what I intended it to mean:)

Errrrr…I thought U/S meant UnServicable? ~Confuzzled look~

Yes indeed, both the Lanc and a Spit were in the Chesterfield area on Saturday. So you were right.
Where in Chesterfield exactly I have not got a clue.

If your mate thinks the BBMF Dak is in the US then either he’s had too much of the fallin down liquid or you up for a laugh.
The Dak was last to display at Hardwick Hall last Saturday and is due to display at both Peranporth & Brize Norton this Saturday. There is no way it could be in the US.

Regards.

Smart****:)

“Same bloke has also heard the Dakota is U/S. Is this true?”

All Dakotas are American DH,thought you’d know that! 😉 ho ho ho…sorry folks,it is late afterall!
