G-ASXX in 1966 (I think)...
Airframe is still around...
Read the story of how it got to the UK!


Hopefully to be enjoyed...

Lovely photo of this ex FN Austin Motors Lancaster Freddie. Thank you.

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose. The dress code has dramatically changed over the last 50-odd years but we still see fairground rides at the back of our air show shots!

How many more years 'til we see her back in the air?

It’s not what you look at that matters. It’s what you see.

Ha me too. I remember that BoB day, I was 5.
In this world there's two kinds of people, my friend. Those with loaded guns, and those who dig. You dig.
