ATC & ground crew were told to expect it at 1500. Last I saw it was somewhere over Lincs before my app threw a wobbler.

From what I could tell she did a loop and landed back at Humberside. Haven't seen her take off again yet.

She has flown over our office in Grimsby twice today. Hell of a noise.

Just reading the latest BBMF Movements page, late afternoon on Sunday the two lancasters will be flying over East Kirkby, home of Just Jane, could it be a small rehersal for Tuesday?

A fantastic afternoon at Durham Tees Valley. The Canadians aren't scared to throw her around a bit!

If Tuesday is anything like that I'll be more than a little happy

Amazing day at Durham Tees Valley (or Teesside or Goosepool!) bit chaotic on the organisational side to start with but once everything got going had a great time.

Loved being able to just walk up to Vera & touch her then to also see her in the air. Plus I presented a tin of our special limited edition celebration day sweets to the crew. biggrin
