I used to work contract security many years ago, and one job we routinely got was an under 18s disco 1 town over, by the then largest mobile disco in Europe; their final sound check was a Lanc flyover. Awesome
Had the pleasure of watching these two Lancasters at the Southport airshow..but during the rain.. but was an awesome sight and even better sound. Thanks for the upload :)
Wonderful video. Thanks so much for sharing it. I went to see VRA at the CWHM one week ago and they are right on schedule to have her flying in Spring 2018. There was a huge number of school kids at the museum when i was there being given tours and learning about all of the museum's aircraft and about the airmen that served in them. It was wonderful to see how inquisitive and interested they were.
I'm 66 now and this still brings tears to my eyes, wonderful, wonderful. Have to thank our Canadian cousins for bringing their Lanc over. Please do it again.
Oh, the one on the ground has her engines running too. I'm crying now. Last year I got my cousin to call in at East Kirkby only to find Vera was actually giving trips! We both had dads in the RAF - mine in Bomber Command, his at Bletchley Park. Did we blub when the engines started up!
What a wonderful sight that is the two lancs flying by, pity the third one isn’t airworthy. Gives me goosebumps every time I hear the roar of those merlins !!

Has there ever been a sweeter sound than a Merlin Engine, brings a lump to the throat everytime.

Thanks for this, I was at the event too and words cannot describe the feeling when the 2 Lancasters first came into view.
