Re: The Last Chance
Is there also a canadian Spitfire? Took a tootle over to RAF Coningsby today, hoping to see the Lancasters out in the open but they were locked away in hangers ((managed a pic through an open fire door), but there was a Spitfire with the canadian leaf logo on the side (left plane in pic 2, just below cockpit).
See the today in pics thread later for some spitfire and Typhoons flight pics. |

Re: The Last Chance
The Vulcan is also doing a tour next week, planned for Thursday weather permitting. Not coming round this way though unfortunately.

Re: The Last Chance
My lad went to Duxford at the weekend. Waiting for the photos to be sent. He reckons it is the best one he has ever seen, and he has been to a lot being an RAF brat. Of course the fact that Duxford is part of the War Museum increases the pleasure with all the displays. He also enlightened me as to the whereabouts of the only remaining TSR2, as well as a myriad of other worthy exhibits.
We will certainly attempt to get there next year.

Re: The Last Chance
Can anyone throw any light on two planes I saw flying low along the coast at Morecambe last Friday ? They were heading south so maybe something to do with the Southport show. They were not the Lancasters. No marking that I could see just plain grey colour.
Would love to know what they were. |

The Last Chance
The plainest grey planes I can remember from the show are the Canberra and hunter. If you look in the today in pictures thread I've some pics in there.
