I'll try to keep everyone informed of any updates as I get them. I'll also create a new post this week detailing all BBMF's flying on a weekly basis. Whilst it is available online a lot of people will probably forget to check.
I'll be at Eastbourne airshow and Bournemouth before my last time assisting the flight at Lincolnshire lancasters member day in September.

Sorry to hijack, but do you know why the BBMF cancelled fri/sat at Farnborough?
I tweeted BBMF and Farnborough, but no response from either
I can find out, but I think it may have been due to the impending doom that was forecast for the whole of the country although eventually seemed to affect the west and east. I tweeted BBMF and Farnborough, but no response from either

Did I see this lanc flying low over St. Albans heading aprox north east around mid-afternnon yesterday (Sunday 20-07-14).
Very very cool sight, I had a camera close but was too busy waving like a loon as i could see the outline of people in the cockpit as it was that low.
EDIT: to add date.
That would have been the BBMF Lancaster probably heading back to Coningsby after doing a flypast at the Farnborough AirshowVery very cool sight, I had a camera close but was too busy waving like a loon as i could see the outline of people in the cockpit as it was that low.

Currently in the US, but set off for Hamilton tomorrow eve to start crew training ready for Sundays 4 day flight.
