Two Lancasters together!
Two Lancasters together!
The RAF have just confirmed that the Canadian Heritage Lancaster will visit the UK in August this year and will be flying with the BBMF Lancaster. So probably the last chance ever to see two Lancs in the air together. Must be worth seeing

Re: Two Lancasters together!
But I want to know where and when they will be flying together so I will know if I can get there and the sooner that information is released the better chance I will have (don't think I am alone in that ,though).

Re: Two Lancasters together!
My best bet of them flying together is Duxford Airshow.
I'am more confused than a chameleon in a bag of Skittles.

Re: Two Lancasters together!
That's going to be fantastic. Duxford Airshow has to be a favourite for seeing them. I thought last year during the Dambuster remembrance events how great it would be to see them together, but I never expected it to happen.

Re: Two Lancasters together!
Thanks for that Snowbird; no Duxford though....
Sywell here we come then, stand by for another 3 hour trawl out of the car park at the end

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Re: Two Lancasters together!
They will be appering at the Shorham RAFA (Royal Air forces Association) Air show on the week end of August the 30th/31st
It is a great weekend and I'm sure some of you may have been to it. I hope to be able to go this year as I have missed the last few due to being in hospital and I am looking forward to seeing this great pair in action together.
I must point out that I am not advertising the show even though the prices etc. are shown, but I could no edit it out. and I apologise if I have broken any of the rules. If I have and any body knows how to edit that bit out please do so.

I've got tickets for the East Kirkby gig. (They ought to have a tour T-shirt)

One guy speculates that 20,000 might turn up to see the Lancaster arrive on August 8th.
