The Merry Christmas thread – with added Historic content…

Happy Christmas to everyone here, from posters to lurkers alike.

To promote a little Christmas spirit, I thought it would be nice if we could post Christmassy things, with a Historic Aviation slant.

This little gem has just popped up on Facebook, and is a cracker..: (pun intended)

Feel free to add whatever else you can find!

I like that, can’t imagine how I’ve never come across it before.

The following item was posted in GD at the beginning of December; however in view of the bad weather conditions over in the Toronto area at present I thought I’d re-post in this thread – it cheered me up when I watched the YouTube clip again this afternoon, Happy Christmas everyone!

A YouTube link from a friend in Canada arrived the other day of a Lancaster flight that he made with his brother back in the summer and I’ve just re-run it again!

It’s dedicated to his late father and his Lancaster crew on 227 Squadron and as it said in the covering email – β€œturn up the volume and enjoy!” πŸ™‚

Blinking Flip Twin Otter, who did you trust to do the anti flash white scheme on the Vulcan? Heads should roll.
