Canadian Lancaster's arrived.

Post by Thundershot »

Hi folks
The Canadian Lancaster has arrived @ Coningsby, earlier today, to start its U.K. tour:

:clap:

Shame about the change in the weather :-( , we've had superb conditions for the last couple of months, as I'm hoping to see them perform a flypast together in a couple of weeks time so fingers crossed it'll brightens up by then.

Both of the Lanc's took to the air together, for the first time, this afternoon... fingers crossed that the weather's fine for their flyby of Ramsey this Sunday.

There could have been three, but we crashed it after a pretty hefty night out. Me, rear gunner, on the far left.

When confronted by a difficult problem you can solve it more easily by reducing it to the question. How would the Lone Ranger handle this?

I think I just shed a tear. That's just beautiful, Ed. Pity the Kiwi Anson couldn't be there.

Bollocks!

Still, with aircraft this precious, it's better safe than sorry.
