Lancaster Bomber Bike Night tonight.

Looks like a fantastic night,definitely going to the August meet and stop over.
Any recommendations for a good hotel or b&b welcome,thanks.
 
It turned out to be a great night, the sight and sound of four merlin engines, unforgettable, a must for next year.
 
They do it all the time, no biggie.
What is more impressive, is the BBWMF Lancaster flying with the Dakota in formation, over your house within spitting distance of the ridge.....That is fucking goose bump inducing and after 7 years of it, I have yet to get bored....

The best display they(East Kirkby) do, is the Bonfire Night ....A truly wonderful sight, seeing the Lanc and hearing it, with flames coming out of the manifolds...
 
The most amazing sight for me was 2 Lancs and the Vulcan flying over our village pub in 2014. Won’t be seen again as the Vulcan is grounded now but it was an amazing sight (and sound). Very poignant for me as my dad was flight engineer in a Lanc in the war and a former colleague headed the Vulcan to the Sky program to get it back in the air. Shame it was so short lived.
