I was wondering when somebody would post one of that occasion - Thanks for sharing it and making my day!

There was one on UKAR but the guy actually admitted that it was a made up shot as he couldn't get one with all 3 from his position :((

When are the BBMF hierachy going to give VERA's pilot the lead - he must be sick of looking at their tail turret :))

Just think - it cant be too long till Just Jane is up there too :D

Good shot Gordon. There have been very few shots posted of the 3 together.

Not sure but I believe for the CAA they would require a formation leader tick and I doubt they have one.

According to the news report that was on breakfast about 3 weeks ago they need another £2-3m in funding.

But then again you can't take what they say on the news as gospel.

Superb shot Gordon.... :ymapplause: :ymapplause: . I suppose we can all hope for two UK airworthy
Lanc's in the future to make up for the loss of 558.

Get Pleming on it - he'll get that piffling sum pledged in no time - it'd be a nice project for him to move on to at the end of next year :ymdevil:
