Two Lancasters today

[topkit]

So today i was one of the lucky ones to see the only two airworthy Lancasters in flight, I stopped off at Biggin Hill as i knew they were due back from the Eastbourne Air Show and it was a truly awesome sight and sound real lump in the throat time.

These Pictures are dedicated to the few:

Thanks for posting awesome sight fair play cant imagine what those pilots and crew who flew them on missions during World War Two felt every time they took off

[Joes1989]

Does anyone know when they are flying over osmaston? That's where I'm working if it's the one in derby?

[essexpete]

Thanks for the photos. Saw one Lanc fly over Southend today looked like it was heading across the Thames to Kent. Then heard another single engine merlin power flying south but not sure what it was.

[topkit]

Essexpete Both Lancasters plus Hurricaine and Spit are due at Southend today Sunday at 14:30 and they should all be leaving around 16.20 this afternoon heading for Woburn abbey and finally due over Peterborough at around 17:25.
