          There will be a few jealous people around here Dave with your VIP access.

          Ohh, that's going to hurt. Bad luck.

          Myself, I'm off to the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre where both Lancasters will do a flypast with 'Just Jane' on the runway, 12 Merlin engines all together.

            I saw pictures of the two Lancasters together on the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight. Magnificent.

                I've just realised that title is all wrong, serves my own right for trying to type fast.

                Indeed Alan, it could well be a once in a lifetime opportunity.

                I have edited the title for you Colin. ;-)

                  Can you believe they both flew over my wife today as she was out walking the dogs! The BBMF aircraft regularly flies over us very low so I'm sure it was a pretty spectacular sight. At least my wife can now recognise a Lancaster!!

                    There are people dying to pay good money to witness that sight, and your wife casually walking the dogs gets a free flyby. You have to laugh.....................

                      Then this afternoon the house shook to a thunderous roar and the pair of them flew over the house at just a few hundred feet!!!

                      It just isn't fair that I'm not there!!!

                        Today they were a bit higher and my wife, not a camera buff in any way, was lucky to get a shot. It does have its advantages living on the Conningsby approach!!

                        Usually it is Typhoons in the circuit but today was a bit special!

                              Just heard that the two have just received permission to land at Jersey Aiport early September part of the yearly B of B show.

                              The show is about 2.5 hours. Arrows Spifire with host of other craft. All takes place over a bay which enables lower flying than usual.
