Chris Hall Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 They've been panning this for years, there was a rumour that they wanted to fly into or over East Kirkby so that the 3 Lancs could be photographed together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnwardle Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 This has got me shaking, we have an application in for a BBMF flypast at the Lacock at War show on August 16th & 17th it would be amazing to have 2 Lancasters we have everything crossed.

marvinthemartian Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Hoping everything will work out ok, I think they had planned for this to happen a number of years ago too, but something went wrong and it was cancelled. I for one will endeavour to do a bit more wandering when the Lanc is scheduled to arrive, would like to know whether it'll be flying from Coningsby or elsewhere. Will have to ask a few questions.

Desert Rat Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Hoping everything will work out ok, I think they had planned for this to happen a number of years ago too, but something went wrong and it was cancelled. I for one will endeavour to do a bit more wandering when the Lanc is scheduled to arrive, would like to know whether it'll be flying from Coningsby or elsewhere. Will have to ask a few questions. At this stage it will be arriving at Conningsby, have a few bits of maintenance done, then they will be flying from Conningsby to practice their routine together. The passenger flights will be done from Humberside (the old Lanc base of Kirmington) but they will operate for the displays from CGY. This is as I was told this morning but subject to change...

ArtistsRifles Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 I sooo want one of those tickets to fly - it would be a dream come true!! But alas out of my price reach unless by some miracle I find a job... I see nearly all the cockpit seat have been sold already! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason1968 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 It would be fantastic if Just Jane was airworthy by then as well. 12 merlins on full song wow what a spectacle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiomike7 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 It would be fantastic if Just Jane was airworthy by then as well. 12 merlins on full song wow what a spectacle! Wishful thinking but the way they are throwing money at it is mind blowing: http://www.lincsaviation.co.uk/news/lancaster-nx611-return-to-flight/Holy-Grail-of-propeller-parts.htm In terms of number of £s that is more than a complete Lanc cost during the war for 5 relatively insignificant parts.

marvinthemartian Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Got my tickets for this one, as returning from Dorset on the other date. Will see them both at Bournemouth Air Festival, also got tickets to see them at Coningsby, just got to locate a decent viewing place to see it come in on Friday.
