BBMF Spit Tech at Leuchars

That rarest of things happened at the weekend – a sunny day for the BoB Airshow at Leuchars 😀 !! – and great to see the BBMF present after weather enforced absences of recent years. First time my youngest son’s seen an airbourne Lancaster, and I’m proud to say he was suitably impressed.

Unfortunately the Mk XIX Spitfire PM 631 went tech and could not display with the Lanc and Hurri.

Does anyone know what the problem was ??

Here’s hoping it’s nothing too serious, and she’s back in the skies where she belongs before long ( if she’s not back there already ).

You need to thank dodrums for the pic for it was he who posted it.

Yes I know he has pm’d me to say no problem. Too busy getting into chat with Moocher(who I know well- TOO WELL) to read the thread properly.

By this time I think I was in the queue to get out, trying to entertain children and being thankful for the virtues of air conditioning !!

I’ll have you know that I was the token rigger who had to come in early to sort panels out. So we missed the hanger party on Sat evening, and just had a quiet drink in St Andrews!!!!!!

“and just had a quiet drink in St Andrews” – yeh right, heart bleeds, violins play, blub blub blub. :dev2:
You a quiet drink, never,

You mean someone fixed it for you don’t you “Stormin”. I didn’t think you got your hands dirty these days…..

Does that mean it’s more traditionally “unservicable”?… 😉
