Something ya don't see every day….

I believe the original plan was to fly the Lancaster, B17, B24 and B29 all in formation. I know the B24 didn’t make it following it’s nose wheel failure, but did they manage to get the B17 together with these 2?

Great photowork.
I was planning for Hamilton but had to cancel.
Visited Hamilton years ago ,great memories specially the Lanc.

A bit unfortunate to see a bright yellow jacket in the cockpit.
I would have brushed out the yellow color ,to balance this great shot.

Can’t wait to see more action from Hamilton.

The last time these two airframes were together at hamilton was in 1988

Must make a note not to miss the next series of “Ice Pilots”

WOW! I bet that sounded phenomenal!

There was also a formation at an airshow several years ago where the B29, a B17, B24 and the CWH Lanc were in formation together.

I would have thought it highly likely that B29 Washingtons and Lancasters have shared the same piece of sky during the late 40s and 50s?

I wonder if a B29 and a Lanc have ever flown together before.

I not so sure Peter,it looks more original as war weary in the overhead shot of yours.

Hopefully one day she gets a complete repaint of her green camo..!

Wow 🙂 just out of this world!

Cool! This one is a sweet shot

Yup, they got it back flying a few days ago. 🙂 More pics etc:
