BBMF Lancaster @ Bletchley Park

[Thumper]

No gastro problems, had Glandular Fever last week but killed it with anti-biotics and probably some very stupid riding

Cluny = The Lanc is down to appear at 4pm today. My freeloading site is Collosus Way. I do actually have a season ticket for Bletchley but I can't find it If you are going and fancy swinging by to collect me that'd be awesome as I can't get the bike looked at until tomorrow.

Glad you all like the pics, thank you! The lens is an old 75-300 off my last 35mm SLR. None of the pics are shot at more than 200mm though as after that length they get too soft. The Lanc was VERY low and VERY close so no need for Hubble telescopes

Oh, yes there is a passenger in the gun turret, there always is when I have seen her.

Yesterday really was the most spirited of displays I have seen the Lanc do, very very tight turning, superbly low and some great climbs from down low. Was magnificent!

[Cluny]

Cool , il pm you my phone number so i know where to pick you up from

[Thumper]

Big thanks to Cluny for picking me up and taking me to see the Lanc again today

I couldn't decide whether to take pictures or video so I multitasked and did both

Only 1 go around today and she was a bit higher than yesterday but still a lovely sight especially with the sun glinting off her wings

well they could.
after all they are so far advanced than us
and they were so much more fantastic than us in every way and they won the war on their own!
