Stunning to see these beauties aloft.

In reply to Greenbanks:

and hear that sound, lovely.

In reply to Greenbanks:

Imagine my surprise as I was driving over beely Moor about to head down the hill to Rowsley and on to nuda's when I saw the two Lancasters flying along the valley in front of me! Surprised and delighted to see them!

In reply to Greenbanks:

Wish I'd known. I'd have popped over.

In reply to Greenbanks:

Interesting post. Where did you see them?

In reply to Greenbanks:

I was almost underneath them on Black Hill, thought they were Lancasters.
Took some pics but they're probably rubbish.
They were flying amazingly slow!

In reply to Greenbanks:

I'm green with envy!

Posted two picture up, for what they're worth

In reply to Greenbanks:

Saw them over Morecambe Bay a few weeks back. Even at a distance the sound of eight Merlins is just unbelievable.

In reply to Greenbanks:

I was climbing on Twistleton in the early 80's and nearly dived for cover of The Candle as one of them swept rather noisily down the valley. Superb.

In reply to Greenbanks:

Saw them well from Stanage End, go back and forth over the reservoir. Wondered what it was about. Weren't they around a few weeks ago?

In reply to Greenbanks:

Flypast over Ladybower on their way back from Stockport airshow. Three passes by the Lancaster and a couple by a Spitfire and a Hurricane. Spine tingling to see them and thousands out to watch. Traffic was a bit sticky in the area though!

In reply to Greenbanks:

This was a few weeks ago. Regretably didn't see it.

In reply to toad:

Lancs and Vulcan together, what a sight and as it says probably the last time ever.

They used to be a regular sight at airshows in the 1960s. The Vulcans nose up, flaps expended, tweeking the thrust and desperately trying not to stall, and the Lancs with engines roaring going flat out!

When you see them together it makes you realise just how big the Lancs were. They were described as massive bomb bays with an aircraft designed around them.
