Snaith/Pollington flypast

If only we had an airworthy Halifax.

All classic Hally-bases

Hi Ben,

Saw the Tucano leave RAF Church Fenton and heard it return a while later with a screaming run-and-break which I’d love to have seen!! Performed a flypast over York I’m told but I don’t know the occasion nor whether the BBMF flew on to there (I’m guessing not).

Quinny, the flypast at Snaith was the usual ‘figure of eight’ – happily they flew over our heads twice, nice ‘wing-waggle’ for the veterans as they departed. A few moans from folk who expected to see the Lanc’ but I was more than happy with my first ‘warbird-sighting’ (in the air at least) of the year. Good ol’ BBMF!

Nice pics Davski, did you get through to York to see if anything was happening there.

Sorry you could not make it Quinny, but plenty more chances to see them this year.

Nevertheless,pleased to see everything went off.

I have to say,the timing of the guys is impeccable.

Last September,at Blyton,I received a call from the now retired OC Sqdn Ldr Clive Rowley,that he would be flying over Blyton at 13.00,for our planned flypast,and,yes you’ve guessed it,at 13.00 precisely,LF363 graced us with her presence.

You could set your watch by these guys,and that is why they are the best.

I’m sure more pics will follow.

Ken.

Sorry Quinny, not the usual high standard witnessed on these pages!

Quite grey and hazy, flypast was right on schedule (thanks to Fluffy for the timing). Didn’t get onto the airfield, chose instead to park in the minor road that runs alongside with the dozens of other aviation enthusiasts, bumped into Bennyboy too!

Cheers,
Davski
