Lancaster

I saw the Canadian WArplane Heritage Lanc today.

No pic...I was on duty at work when it flew out of CYYZ.

Sweet music to the ears though. :)

Now that's another reason why I have to visit the UK some day...
although I did hear 11 Merlins going at once at Airventure '03 ( 11 Mustangs).

Weather permitting BBMF's Lancaster will be displaying at Rolls Royce Hucknall next Saturday as part of the Merlin Day event. The flight path is directly over my house ;D Hope a couple of Spits turn up too.
