  • I was running pretty late that day, but I just managed to get there in time to see the lanc. I was about to head back to my car when I heard two more merlins roaring over the water, so I legged it back to my view point and just caught the arse ends of the spit and huri, which was a nice surprise as I thought it was just going to be the lanc that day.

  • Well if you'd stayed around you'd have also seen the Dakota along with 2 Tornado's from the current Dambuster squadron. Was a memorable day.

  • Excellent footage mate, i was there to see that myself today! Brilliant, im glad to see you caught the Tornado, it's a shame you missed the Two GR4's though. Saying that, i did too lmao. They were really quick!

  • I was caught between photographing one run, then videoing the next. As you say, the GR4's didn't half come along quickly, but I got a shot with the Lanc & a Tornado ;-). Photos will be on the web site tomorrow as I'm now knackered having spent the night sleeping in the car!

  • flying at 60ft how the hell any of them got out alive is beyond me.upmost respect to guy gibson and his boys true british hero's.

  • What an experience to be there, thanks for sharing.

  • In Spanish. From Venezuela; Esos 4 motores Merlin rugiendo en un bombardero, musica para mis oidos...mejor que los del jet...

  • Can you imagine what it must have like to look up and see 1000 of these bombers or transports fly over?

    There are many recreated Spitifires flying where I live in the Western US.

  • True True

  • thats the sound of air superiority.....its pure power

  • Sweet! That was great wasn't it? I've seen all the rest, but never a Lancaster. Serious chills!

  • SPit + Hurricane , that sound makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up

  • To be honest, I was skiving work, and was pushing my luck in stopping as long as I did :)
