Milsurp After Hours

Cheers Duncan but I prefer big piston aero engines, far to many of them new fangled jet thingummies at Farnborough for me.

We are supposed to be getting two Lancasters flying over here tomorrow about mid-day. It will be a bit of a lottery if they fly over the bit of town that I will be at though.

Regards
Peter.

The Canadian Lanc was stuck at Teeside airport for a few days recently undergoing a engine swap.

Well, I was dozing in bed about half past nine this morning, thinking it was about time I got my feet on the carpet, when I heard an aircraft engine in the distance. We often get single engine light 'planes flying over but this started to sound deeper and more powerfull. I got out of bed and opened the window to see the two Lancasters flying past quite low about 300 yards away. I didn't have time to get my camera, but I watched them fly off into the distance. I was going to go to the range today but didn't as it was my last chance for a lie in, as I am back at work tomorrow after two weeks off. I am glad I was home, now. Yesterday was dull, low cloud and rain showers and I think the Lancasters didn't fly. I was hoping to see the two Lancasters flying, but didn't expect to see them from my bedroom.
Regards
Peter.

A great way to start the day.............
