Duxford Flying Legends for me is like going to Silverstone for a Grand Prix you know it costs more and is it crowded The flying / racing doesn’t last as long as some of the other venues you could go to, but what you get is the best, end of story

Stormin’s comment was a joke, unc wasn’t kicked off the flight he was promoted and so he had to move on. Hope this clears things up.

No he is still there and like me has 3yrs to go and Gerbs is counting and packing all our spares.

BBMF some points answered

I thought I would reply to some of the points raised on this thread and on the B O B Lanc returning thread.
1. The Lanc is not being grounded in the near future she has a long life ahead at least 20 yrs

2. The aircrew/ groundcrew are in the RAF, but only the boss Sqn Ldr Pinner and the groundcrew work at BBMF on a fulltime basis

3. P7350 took part in the Battle of Britain on 603 Sqn

4. The guys did a great job fixing the Lanc so it could display the next day and many of the comments posted here about this have been greatly appreciated

5. It was one of the new bags that burst, not an original, the Lancs brakes are like the Spitfire they are pneumatic

6. And finally yes I work on the flight and have been there for 13yrs

Oh dear

Just heard Lanc u/s on landing , brake bag burst yet another long weekend working on the old girl.

Tlc will be applied from 08.00 tomorrow and hopefully she will make Biggin Hill on Saturday.

Day off !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
