Spit!

Lancaster Lucky!

I can't tell you much, if anything, about how we came, as a group of Microlight Pilots, to be stood in front of a Lancaster after our VIP tour of the Battle of Britain Flight. However, if it was you on that small airfield, unable to fly this summer I can say it was more than likely we met once before. As VIP guests we allowed to walk up-to, touch, breath and feel the history of these fine Aircraft, and what a highlight of 2012, these war machines are magnificence and to be this close was very significant, a feeling that one was reaching back able to communicate with what had been before. As flying machines these are basic, they have all the wires, string, some fabric and dope too (Mr Dell's - Hurricane). 

To say this was the highlight of 2012 is not true, it was a fine second to the mission we flew, which was defiantly No1 and will be for a long while to come. To be invited was a honour, to fly was a once in a lifetime experience, and to have the opportunity to see the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight in such close proximity was a childhood dream. Wow I am solo looking forward to the 2013 Season!
