Any RAF types? Lancaster bomber flight path 16/05/18?

But there will be a couple of typhoons doing it instead

 

wierd,, cant fly cause of a breeze but they will fly in a typhoon boom boom.

 

Likewise Spitfires here. I live near a massive showground and they’re usually booked for some displays a couple of times a summer. Right old racket they make, I always run outside in awe of those things and the lucky/crazy guys who fly a 70 year old plane like that.
Would love to see a Mosquito though.

I got my private pilot's licence from Netherthorpe, nr Sheffield. The instructors loved taking people on their trial lesson over the Derwent dams.

 

My dad flew the BBMF spitfires & hurricane for three years in the late 1970s. But they were 40 years younger then.

 

Well he’s still a daredevil in my book!

When was this taken - the last time I was in there it was almost derelict (2011) but I was surveying the annex for a partial refurb and had nose around the office - apparently prince Charles had seen the state of disrepair of it and his dogs grave ( darent type his name here ) and ordered that it gets the refurbishement it quite rightly deserved ...

Unfortunately the day I was there I witnessed Red Arrow Pilot Flt Lt Sean Cunningham tragically ejected from the cockpit....

 

Been a big push to make it all better. There is a plan to build a big heritage centre.

I was in work that day too.

 

Is that where you work then Matt?

 

Hmmm "work" is a strong word. "Attend" would be better!!

 

I was in the fire brigade museum when I heard the jet start up - just walked out the fire exit to watch - exactly the same tome it happened .. horrible to see.. still think about today whenever I see them in the sky

 

This is going to look amazing ..

@Merlin Cat Lancaster just flew low over scampton heading west towards gainsborough

 

Let's not get too hasty.
Remember how strange they are down there.

 

I did give it thumbs up. It may be doing its circuir over the dam today
