As a kid I got to crawl about in the Lanc, as a chum of my dad's was on the maintenance crew and he pulled some strings. I really enjoyed it

Regarding airshows, I thought I was going to one with work, but it doesn't look like it will be happening.

I'll probably get to at least one air show this season. I went to Bruntingthorpe earlier in the year and had a great day with my son and Ruby. Hopefully I'll make it to the Rolling Thunder event too.

Waheyyy Saafend. Born and bred. Man, I miss the Southend air show.

It got shit when the Red Arrows dropped out, and then I realised I actually quite enjoyed the historical element when it was too late and I'd moved away.

Unfortunately its sold out, but no reason not to be in the area and look through the fence

If the planes are in the sky what point is there in looking through a fence on the ground? LOL

"
because "just Jane " the other Lancaster will be on the ground doing taxi runs as she can't fly yet probly the last chance to get pics of three Lancasters together in my lifetime that's why .

With Leuchars no longer being RAF we will have to travel probably to Lossie if we want to see an air show again in Scotland.

We lived in Cove,Farnborough, when my husband was in the army, and our bird killing pet cat would hide under the shed for a whole week when the jets started to scream over our house...i think the cat thought the birds mother was out to find him.

We might go to Wings and Wheels this year at Dunsfold, really want to see both the Lancasters as well as XH558.

Later when the Shoreham and Bournemouth airshows are on we go to Eastney naturist beach and usually both the Lancaster and the Flying Fortress fly along the shoreline between both shows right overhead.

We have one every year in eastbourne.. Apparently it is the largest free airshow held over sea in europe.. To be honest it is a pain in the arse, you cant park anywhere in town, the seafront is heaving and it the weather is alway crap for it. and it goes on for 4 days.. The only things worth watching are the battle of britain memorial flight and the red arrows.. Once you have seen one fast jet flying about you have seen them all...... Or maybe its just us.. Plus i can watch a lot of it from my back garden.....

I live practically on the flight-path to Leuchars so have seen most airshows there for free. Was also in the RAF and after having been duty marshaller for a few shows I've kind of seen enough of them.
