I’m so happy they’ve managed to repair it, I don’t think I’m gonna have to funds to get the train from Newport to Cambridge for Duxford or to Southport… So I think I have come to accept I’m not gonna see the 2 together… be right back, crying.

But at least there are an abundance of Photos and Videos! (And Shoreham was still pretty epic despite the 2nd Lancaster’s absence, I forgot how enjoyable one is, let alone two. )

I WISH they they sent the 2 Lancaster to display with the spitfire and hurricane in Newport yesterday evening, they did 4 low passes over the River Usk at sunset , it was so beautiful! We were on the foot bridge over the river so they flew right over our heads! My flat mate said he saw them dive and bank around almost level with our balcony window! Although perhaps the flying space would have been a bit tight for the Lancasters?

I keep hearing that the BBFM are displaying in my city of Newport on Saturday , part of the NATO Summit goings ons, but I can’t see a confirmation anywhere, I’ve tweeted then pleading that they bring both Lancasters if they do! I doubt they will because it’s not in the official tour schedule but ya never know

I went into 3D mode just as she flew along the runway, was pretty awesome 😀 also I wonder if the passenger’s sitting on the right hand side of the B747 they passed could see them in the distance? They were pretty much the same altitude

Real :
1. Harrier (was always one of, if not MOST favourite display)
2. Vulcan (doing one of it’s more intense displays)
3. Mosquito
4. B52 (still haven’t managed to see one flying in the flesh)
5. B29 (assuming one is still airworthy?)

Picking a dream one is difficult, as being born as recently as ’91 there is a LOT of aircraft I wish I could have seen flying but I’ll go with…

1. Concorde (I never did see it fly in the flesh, it flew over the car once apparently when I was a baby fast asleep in my car seat)
2. Lancaster/Stirling/Halifax formation
3. Vulcan/Victor/Valiant formation
4. Sunderland
5. EE Lightning

Apparently it’s been wheeled back out and engines started and mechanics applauded, according to the reporter who is on site’s twitter

Yeah! It did amuse me listening to her, sounded like she was reading straight off their Facebook, but not really understanding what she was reading :p I hope it’s soon, I need to go food shopping, I’m hungry and the cupboards are bare!
