There’s some nice footage of Lancaster NX611 flying in the 60’s, also with some Dams pilots reminiscing in her cockpit, as well as the ‘100th’ op celebrations at Waddington for Hendon’s ‘Sugar’, as well as assorted bits and bobs with the BBMF Lanc in it’s very, very early days at various celebratory events, as well as loads more wartime bomber stuff! 😀

“No one was sure who was about to get the biggest surprise; the lady who hadn’t realised that the tide had gone out, or the pilot who hadn’t realised that it was about to come in”

I do see your point-I’ve long said that Hendon in particular seems very ‘dead’, but of course, that age old chestnut ‘money’ has a lot to do with this sort of thing. :confused:

Although not in a wheelchair unless things get really bad, my wife has her own problems and I’m her full-time carer, and I think our favourite Spitfire polisher’s reply to Kev here is fantastic. Good on you Ashley, and I hope you enjoy your day, Kev. 😉

Holy ruddy hell, look at that!!! 😮 😮 😮 😀

Nice idea, but I can’t see BA funding that for many years if it’s al about money, money, money these days.

Duxford have applied for one? D’oh, don’t you just hate it when you do that-you apply for a Concorde and damn! You turn around and realise that you’ve already got one! 😮 😮 😮

I got quite excited when I read that-expecting a girl in tight lycra or something-what a let down!!! 🙁

I saw a Beaver (I think it was) crash fatally at Culdrose when I was a kid in the 80’s, and saw the Mig 29’s slice into each other at Fairford a few years back-bad stuff.
