Lancaster Bomber
 

Following on from the Vulcan Bomber thread:

Well was in the garden today enjoying a BBQ with my Dad, Mum and Sister when we heard a odd engine sound in the distance closing fast.
All of a sudden over next doors tall hedge appeared the only flying Lancaster Bomber in the UK. Flying super low maybe 100ft!!! Felt like I could almost see the pilots faces

What a sight!!!

My Dad having served and is still serving nearly 35 years in the RAF was over the moon. Tried to convince him we had it planned especially for fathers days but alas he ain't that senile...yet :)

Anyone else get buzzed?

No but last year, Im Indoors went to East Kirby for the Buell and Italian Vtwin day. Pete n Lissa were there, and so was a Lancaster. A super sight apparently

And we'll be there again this year! :D

UKBEG Emma Radford Buell & European V-twin Festival - Saturday 18th July 2009.

Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre
East Kirkby, near Spilsby
Lincolnshire
PE23 4DE
Web site: www.lincsaviation.co.uk

UK Buell Enthusiasts Group web site: www.ukbeg.com

This will be our sixth event at this location dedicated to the memory of one of our members, Emma Jane Radford, who passed away 22-04-04, aged just 26. We'll also be raising money for the Papworth Hospital Cystic Fibrosis unit which looked after Emma. Last year we had 280+ bikes and raised over £1200.00.

In addition to approx. 150 Buells, there'll be Italian bikes from Aprilia, Cagiva, Ducati, Morini and Moto Guzzi. British bikes will include Brough Superior, Hesketh and Vincent.

Buell UK will support the event and will have a selection of their current Buell range available for escorted test rides around the stunning Lincolnshire Wolds. You must produce a full motorcycle licence if you wish to have a test ride.

The event will include a Lancaster bomber taxi-run display. If you like Rolls Royce V12 Merlin engines at full chat and red-blooded V-twin motorcycles, you'll really appreciate this event!

The provisional timetable is as follows:
10.30 am Start time
12.00 noon to 1.00 pm Photo-call for bikes with the Lancaster
1.30 pm Lancaster bomber taxi-run
4.00 pm Lancaster bomber taxi-run

The admission charge is £6.00 per person. 'Girls on Buells' get in free.

The Aviation Centre has full catering facilities.

another lovely aircraft to grace our skies, just a shame the vulcan and other veteran aircraft couldn't get the same support from the raf.

Yeh it was impressive to see that fly over at the Bike Show yesterday. Nothing to do with the bike show but since RAF Hendon is just round the corner and they had a big old thing on too we got to watch it fly about for free :)

last year I just happened to be a Madingly War Cemetary when it flew over, it was a very moving moment.
