Thought I was seeing double:very_drunk:

Good news that there is no damage.

But on the renting of the engine, from what I have read it has always been classified as a ‘loaner’. I would be a kick in the teeth for the Canadians if it’s true. Fingers crossed it’s just a rumour.

Just flicked through my Uncles log book, there’s an entry in jan 1945 ops on Zeitz he lost port outer 200 miles from target, continued on bomb run well below main force and returned…………he was awarded an immediate DFC.
Just brings it home how brave the chaps were.

Well deserved, I doubt if I could have done what they did.

I was at the workshop on Saturday, frame 10 looks a bit complex!

TT, sorry it says your location is Norwich, a bit of a hike from Oxford! It’s something else hearing them let alone seeming them, get there. I didn’t think I would see them flying together but I did the tour at Coningsby and I saw the first flight of them together whilst on the tour so I was on the airfield at the time, I wish I had bought a lottery ticket that day! I have never been so lucky.

I thought it was very good of the NX611 chaps as well. Thank you!
TT, can’t you get to Coningsby to see them?

Snap.:)

I would have thought the Canadian Lanc would have Packards and the BBMF Lanc Rolls Royce?

First time have read the G-ASIX story, Vickers built one strong plane.
