The photo suggests Tomahawk perhaps, but hard to tell – low wing, and bubble canopy though.
Awful news.
Weather permitting (ha !) this is the schedule for the weekend.
”Without delay, the first airshow appearance for the two Lancasters should be the Eastbourne International Airshow on Thursday, 14 August – the start of a very busy weekend that will see the Lancasters carry out displays at Headcorn, Herne Bay, Old Warden, Sywell and Eastbourne, and single flypasts at Kenley, Littlestone, Whitstable, Woburn Abbey, Wyton, Ramsey and Peterborough. Following these inaugural displays, the Canadian Lancaster will head North for three days of private flights at Humberside International Airport.” Elliot Marsh
In a recent CAA consultation document, Mr Vacher hinted that the Hurricane might have to be sold, because of proposed changes.
He is a fan of wartime de Havilland twins. I have said too much already…….:rolleyes:
I am not talking Rapides either.
”Rainshower passing overhead, all the dignitaries hiding in the hangar.
BBMF stayed on the ground, so just a Reds escort. Now due in at 2.20 ”

I bet that on board they are saying ‘typical bloody British weather!’
Beating up the field right now!
Low approach and overshoot on 11 (intention)
Just said he would do a low pass….I think.
Anyone found a webcam showing the airport ?
If you take a look at the link ( above) for the flight radar you should see VRA (the Lanc) plodding towards Iceland, not far out now.
If it is in real time, maybe another 25 mins at a guess.
Nearly there http://www.flightradar24.com/CGVRA/401777e
Still 90 minutes until sunset.
Yup. Well done.
Have searched high and low but can find no pictures. I guess Doug Arnold chased everyone away.
Unless you mean KB976 going back across the Atlantic or IWMs coming the other way
Regarding the Last Lancaster to fly across the Atlantic, I am not sure of the exact route but I can confirm it came via Belfast.
In the 1980’s.
Negative.
Kindly join Mr Ellis in the remedial class.
So, when was the last time a Lancaster flew across the Atlantic ? (standby for schoolboy errors! :rolleyes: )
Dig out your Flypasts ….
