General / Off-Topic Lancaster Flypast seen today in Morecambe, England

Beautiful planes - and there might be a third flight-worthy Lancaster eventually.

Wow, didn't know about this! Hope they succeed... preferably sooner rather than later and ditch the pride folks... it's very un-British!

Eight merlins - awesome engine note! :D

Yep!

You can say that again! :D

I did it for him :D

I had planned to go to either the Gransden Airshow (a couple of weeks ago) or Duxford (next weekend) but dithered when coming to buy tickets... net result when I finally committed to Duxford the Lancs were announced and tickets were sold out....

I shall probably camp outside the airfield somewhere and watch the fun from there for once....

PS They were right overhead! You weren't exaggerating! :)

LOL yes! Also, this morning we were driving through Bowness-on-Windermere in our little MG TF - top down of course - when the Red Arrows passed directly overhead, much to our great surprise! :D We were originally going to watch the Lancasters flight at Brockhole but changed our minds and went to Morecambe instead - so glad we did, we couldn't have been better placed. :)

Tickets for Duxford is not sold out :). You just have to buy them on site. Doors open at 0800 (that's when I'll be there :))
