Right now I am extremely jealous of MAFF.

What a fantastic way to fly home.

In a Lancaster.........

I've felt that way since I heard he was doing it AND saw his car collection!

Aren't the two Lancs going to do a flyover of East Kirby with Just Jane doing a fast taxi? Now that would be something to see, not to mention hearing the 12 Merlins together.

Yes, 2nd and 7th September. I believe all tickets are now sold


As for the 2 Lancs and the Vulcan in formation, the only time I am awate that could happen, is the Thursday of Clacton airshow, but I could be wrong

Saturday at bournemouth has 2 lancasters and the vulcan. Would be happy if they did it there.

Not long to go now hopefully in the next 5 minutes it should be departing on its first 5 hour stint.

Indeed, some kind of strange Australian slang. Perhaps Linsblokey is Australian?

I am very much looking forward to Shoreham- I hoping the 2 Lancasters & Vulcan formation might happen there but I doubt it will.
