It gets better than just seeing them.

i've done the taxi run in Just Jane which was spine tingling but to actually fly in one of only two left of over 7,000 would be another level.

 

Thanks for the post and I will definitely be up for watching one of the flights!
This photo is from East Kirkby in 2012. My father and Uncle both flew Lancs. Uncle James died in 1943 while flying from RAF Spilsby that was just a few miles away from East Kirkby. Sadly 7 Lancs all crashed after returning from a successful mission while attempting to land in heavy fog. The only surviving crews ditch in the sea.

 

What a machine in that photo above . :smile:

 

Classic Motorcycle Festival - Donington Park Racing Circuit


Official Donington Park Racing


We're delighted to have just received confirmation from the Royal Air Force that the Lancaster bomber will do a flyover here at Donington Park during the Classic Motorcycle Festival (8/9/10 August)

 

I can highly recommend a visit to RAF East Kirkby when they have the Lancaster out and running.

 

Going to do East Kirkby this year. They are working to ward getting Just Jane airworthy.

 

When Just jane is up and flying they will have to bring it over again, 3 Lancs , maybe the Kiwi built Mosquito and a few Spitfires and Hurricanes - Merlin Heaven!

 

My father has been in hospial for a few days, the bloke in the next bed was an 89yr old ex Lancaster bomber rear gunner. I was a little in awe of him. Such a quiet lovely old man. He must have seen some things.

 

I went in it in January. While were there they said about the Canadian one coming over. A very humbling experience sitting in it.

 

I believe the kiwi restored Mosquito is actually Canadian owned, and is back there now.

 

If you like that sort of thing, have a look here.
I stumbled on this thread a year or so ago, some really excellent period pics.

Mostly American stuff, but still worth a look.

 

It is owned by a guy called Gerry Yagan in the US, who has a collection of warbirds including a spit, hurricane, ME262, mustang, B17, b25, mustang... check out

been there, great collection and all airworthy.

 

Thanks Higgy, I'd love to see one of them flying let alone a pair at the same time.

Lest we forget all those who flew in them.
