Lincs. Lancaster Assoc. open day photos

Nice shots there Pimpernel, bet you got some good video footage!

Last flypast by the Lanc was at 16:27, landed at 16:32, shut down and aircrew off by 16:36 (isn’t digital good for keeping track of these things 😀 )

Not as good as the rest of the postings but the wife did the air shots, I did the video.

Lanc landed just after 4 (unluckily for you) and I hope that everyone who attended enjoyed it as much as we did.

Question anybody … is that red light (unless it’s some weird dot) on PA474’s belly standard WWII fitment or a concession to current requirements?

cheers, Don

I believe that this is for navigation purposes & up to date avionics. The only modern addition to this aircraft and others too.

I would also like to thank everyone at RAF Coningsby for a very enjoyable, pleasant day, and thanks to the pilots and groundcrew without whom the BBMF would not function. Thanks also to Linc/Lanc Assc for all their hard work throughout the year. 🙂 🙂

I left at around 16.00hrs, does anyone know what time the Lanc landed at Coningsby or the alternative base?

I will add one or two of my pictures for sharing when the card reader decides to work. :confused:

Oi, Teddy! No free rides! 😉

Very NICE Gareth 😉 , Thank’s for sharing them with us all, Maybe the red things the on/off switch :p , Cheers Chaps, Tally Ho! Phil. :dev2:

Does anyone know how long the PRXIX will remain in that scheme?
I haven’t had a chance to see it as yet 🙁

I think you have about 4.5 years.

Great stuff, Gareth. That last shot of the Lanc is particularly evocative 🙂

I’m with you on that one Gareth. I see in another new/current thread BBMF are looking for some photos for a brochure of some sort. I should think you could fill it with shots like these.

cheers everyone, Septic – no tripod, but the lens is a 70-200VR (Vibration Reduction) which helps in these sort of situations 🙂 . Shutter speed was a 60th of a second.

Gnome – hadn’t noticed that light showing up until you mentioned it! Don’t know if it was OEM but I’m guessing showing a red light in your belly ‘somewhere over Germany’ wouldn’t have been a good idea! 😮

Top photos Gareth – must have quite a sight and sound. Oh to be in England …

Question anybody … is that red light (unless it’s some weird dot) on PA474’s belly standard WWII fitment or a concession to current requirements?

Fluffy may I pose the question are you a member of the BBMF staff?
Thanks
Steve 🙂

Great Shots Gareth, I must make the trip next year. (I’m sure I said that last year after seeing your photos!)

What shutter speed was the PR XIX taken at, steady hands or tripod?

Septic.

Anyhow talking to the staff, volunteers and other members always makes the day for me, the flying is an added bonus. Thanks to all those who put in the hard work to make this happen.

No problem thats what were here for!!!

Really Nice Pics there Gareth 🙂

Gareth,

Top quality piccies, thanks for sharing

And to echo Mike J, I also wish AB910 a swift recovery

Roll on 2005, its got to bring the BBMF much better luck than they have had in 2004
