Thought you guys might like to see a piece of classic British engineering....

The sun made an appearance eventually and XH558 looked lovely and shiny! Great appearance by the Lancaster with a nice little display.

I’m so, so pleased about this. :smile: :smile:
Thanks for posting these shots of such a momentous occasion. I would have loved to have seen this in person but, as I wasn't able to make it, these are the next best thing.

I think we have all the moving bits! Not sure exactly what we are doing to them though.

I hope making them move again! :lol:

You seem to have a thing about making old nuts and bolts take to the air, so I'm sure they're in the best place :dance:
