Nice photos Karl. I don't know which would have be the more exciting, the sight or the sound of the two Lanc flying past.

Great photos Karl! Always loved Tiger Moths...

Oh sure. Here we lend you our Lanc and you frickin' well go and break it!!!
From the CWH website 7 hours ago: "Lancaster update - After assessing the situation, and with consideration to safety and time constraints due to our many commitments during the tour, we have decided to proceed with replacing our #4 engine with a fresh one. Work will begin in the morning at Durham Tees Valley Airport. Our intention is to meet our obligations for the event with the 3 Lancasters at East Kirkby on Tuesday. We will advise with updates. Also, thank you for your many messages of support!"

Great shots Karl, more so with the little Fuji bridge camera, in those conditions. That sky was really tricky to deal with at times.

Looks like you had some challenging lighting, but made good with it.

Nice Karl, just love the way these guys strut their stuff in the sky.
Excellent shots Karl!

Hi Guys,
Heard on the news that the Canadian Lanc encountered some significant engine issues while on its UK tour and its going to cost a bundle to fix them. The news piece said the warplane heritage wanted to get the word out that donations would be welcomed as they embark on the cost of fixing the problem. We should keep in mind that financial support for our Lanc comes from private donations whereas the Brit Lanc is owned by the RAF and UK taxpayers. I have gone to the Canadian Warplane heritage site and made a donation. I personally would want to see or at least see pictures of more than one Lancaster flying together in the future. Let's keep'em flying!

Yep, she had an oil leak last week, and landed at Middleton St. George, now Teesside Airport.
The BBMF have provided an engine, presumably on loan at this stage, and she should be back on schedule this week, although a few displays were missed, including Bournemouth, where my daughter went especially to see both Lancs. She was, in her own words, gutted !

Yes, "oil leak" was the description of the issue but that could be anything from a loose hose clamp to a cracked block. I suspect it was more serious than a clamp.

Vera was supposed to have left Durham Tees valley yesterday i believe, was busy so not sure what happened, i will try and check !
next set of pics, dont remember the name of the next two acts, one is a light sports plane and only got one rather moody shot of the four ship team with US markings ?

Great shots Karl. I can't remember the name of that neat, 'Spitfire-wing' aerobatic kite either, or the name of the RV8 formation team.
