Lancasters x 2

[solarman216]

I was not dreaming! was I? I happened to come home to do a little job in the workshop and was just leaving so was in amongst the trees on my exit when I heard this unusual droning sound, now we have copters regular here but this was different so got out of the car to see and two great Lancasters flew past escorted by two spitfires, shame I only had a few seconds to see them due to the narrow field of view through the trees, what a wonderful sound and sight, someone tell me I was not dreaming, it was 5 to 3 and I live in Bexhill near Hastings, Rick

No Rick it's true ! The Canadian Lancaster is in the UK for a month and they are doing a tour of air shows, The last time it will come , as it is now too old to make the trip again. :thumb2
