Yes the lady does have a certain presence about her doesn’t she?

Lanc t/o 09:30 tomorrow flying all morn practice displays
Spit t/o 10:30 2seater

If it doesn’t happen don’t blame me I’ve got the next two days off…

if the weathers any good tomorrow morning (Thurs) then you’ll be in with a good chance, and if you happen to be passing around 10.30 you may see a Spitfire flying too..

Thanks Stormin and also thanks Fluffy,

best regards, steve

Im determined to see her fly before the week is out!

Hatton, I didn’t think you were digging, Thursday I believe is AM, it should be doing general flying and poss practise displays.

STORMIN, Wasnt meant as a dig at you 🙂 im glad i went, the weather looked marginal so i risked it! 🙂

many thanks for the info, any info for times on Thursday?

best regards, steve

Have just spent 3 hours at Coningsby. No Lancaster im afraid ,while i was there.

Sorry mate about that ,but I did say check weather. It has been iffy all day, but as you say the Dak made it out between the showers so you did see something.
Lanc out Thurs AM as Fluffy said.(weather permitting)

I just found out the Lanc is coming to my hometown of Assen on May 5th.
I’ve never seen her fly before and would have seen her on RIAT this year for the first time, but now she’s coming to Holland.

May 5th is our libaration day and she will do a flight over our town and also over the Lancaster memorial of JB154.
I’m already getting excited and it’s still 2 months away 🙂

No, Lanc never made it out the hangar she should fly again on Thurs weather permitting.

Have just spent 3 hours at Coningsby. No Lancaster im afraid ,while i was there, but the Dakota was doing practice displays for a good long while. I shot some 35mm B/W but for now there is a frame from some video footage shot.

The weather was awful at times, I wonder if the Lanc ever made it out?

Don’t forget your camera’s lads ;):D

Thanks stormin, greatly appreciated, hopefully will have some things to post tommorow if all goes well. Is she doing practice displays or anything particular?

Hatton
Down to fly at 13.30 tomorrow I believe (Tues) and also same time Wed, but please look at weather to gauge whether!!! you think it will fly

Hello, any details for PA474 tomorrow and the rest of the flight, thanks in advance, will pop along if she’s flying. ta very much.

I’m pretty sure she’s down for Gransden in September.

Does anyone know when the BBMF website listing of appearances will be extended beyond May?

Would love to know which of the big shows PA474 will be at this year…. I’m well into planning my 2004 air show itinery already… 🙂
