Buried Lancasters in Lincolnshire

We’ve all heard the now classic “Lancasters buried in farmers field” yarn, but does anyone know where the rumour originated from or who?

Somebody please put on an airshow.

😀 😀 Looks like some contributors have gone through the angry stage of withdrawal and have moved into the “dribbling into their cocoa” phase.. Having not attended an airshow for 18 months, I’m in the “spending all weekend in a cold hanger and enjoying it” stages of the condition.

I dunno about finding hurricanes in fields, but I’ve heard of a storm in a teacup. Must ang onto anything I dig up.

Don’t be stupid.
Who’d pay to see a hessian-wrapped box at Legends?

Yeah I think I’ve found some sort of ordinance in our garden, about 4 ft below the surface, it is metal, possibly iron and round in profile. So far it’s about 4 ft long but seems to be longer, should I call out the local bomb disposal unit to investigate ?

It’s out there you know.

You’ve been watching too many episodes of the X Files, Snapper !

Or are you the Fox Mulder of East Anglia ?

You all laugh, but I found a buried 50 cal shell in my own garden once. AND a half gone buried 303 case on the beach at Lowestoft. It’s out there you know.

I have just started digging a pond in my back garden and have come across what appears to be a box wrapped hessian. Should I be
1. Committed to an asylum for digging anything in this weather
2. Putting an add in Flypast offering to sell the information
3. Offering to book it for Legends.
