I could watch the Lanc sitting there running all day. My old primary school headmaster was Lancaster crew during WW2. Thanks for sharing this. I must pay it a visit in the near future
Thank you for this. My late father flew in Lancs, Stirlings and Liberators from all over Lincs as an RAF radar man. When he was seconded to the USAAF for radar fitting and testing on B-17 he said he always felt lucky to arrive home in one piece because 'Yank' crews lacked the discipline of RAF crews from several countries.
Coo..most impressed...I can't help feeling sad such magnificent machines can only trundle about...I do hope the dream of flight is achieved one day...massively deserved...great place...nifty music also!
Starting off with 'In the Mood" was a great choice. Love that music, used to drive my coworkers bonkers when I played it. It's great to see people caring for these reminders of the Greatest Generation. May they fly and roll for decades longer.
Well thank you everyone for the very kind comments and feedback, over 12K views in such a short time is just incredible, I never thought this video would get that many views in such a short time, incredible! It's a shame that two people decided to give it a thumbs-down, okay it's not to everyone's liking but it would still be nice just to have a little polite feedback on why you didn't like it and how it could be improved. Anyway, thanks again everyone.
My Father flew from here as Navigator in a Lancaster and was shot down over Germany, he baled out but there was an unsubstantiated rumour that the plane actually made a landing and was the only Lanc to fall into German hands. Fairly sure this is apocryphal.

fanatstic footage,merlins on song cannot be beaten
I looked at that landing/take off strip. Man, that is a job of work to get and keep that field in that condition. But it's lovely now!
If I'm not mistaken, I might be in a few of those shots, I was there that day, keeping a keen eye out lol.

How do the people who restore and maintain these WWII planes get new tires for them?
The Greatest Generation... how pathetic and worthless we are in comparison.
Come on get that mossie up in the air
