Think it said on local news that the Canadian Lancaster has been repaired, and flown back to Coningsby. so they should both be on the flypasts.

The Canadian one was grounded last weekend but one flew at Shoreham Saturday and Sunday.

I had arranged to go to East Kirkby to see the flight last Tuesday with a Vespa mate.
It all went tits up though.
Or rather, as mentioned, one of the Lancasters engines did

A good ride that day. A little disappointed with fly past. Only 1 circuit. My Mrs was down Revesby on the Sunday and East Kirkby got 4. Still did enjoy what we got.

Those Brylcreem Boys rather took me by surprise @ 15:04 on Sunday 07/09/14 as I was minding my own business, riding on the A678 (Near Youles Motorcycle shop) when these flew over...
I had to quickly pull into a bus stop, grab my phone and figure how to take a picture in less than 10 seconds. Sorry they are so small in the picture, I haven't figured out how to zoom in.

They did several passes back and forth along the seafront on the days they flew at Bournemouth last weekend. (The Memorial Flight) I was shopping in Southbourne when the Lanc buzzed the rooftops overhead as he turned for another run. Fantastic!

As Farther Ted said, they are not small, they are just far away...
