I was out in garden cutting the lawn when I heard this droning noise - Looked up and coming straight at me very low was a Lancaster bomber.
Of course I dropped everything and jumped up and down waving my arm's.
Shame the spitfire and Huricane wasn't with it.
I have now seen all three together and todays single plane from my back gardens.
I am assuming it stopped off at Cosford to refuel as it was coming from that direction

Made my day.:).
 
Went to Brum airport to see Concord do it's last runs before it was grounded -
Not long after I met the other half we were driving towards Kings heath in Brum and all of a sudden the car vibrated like hell - looked around and there was a Vulcan just in front of us giving it full throttle vertical.
There was a park carnival going on and Vulcan was highlight -Certainly shook us up.

EE is my favourite fighter jet of all time.
 
After reading that Tom I realised I meant Shawbury Air base -I am quite a bit off the A41 so perhaps it did a flypast or something at Shawbury.
Wife had a better look than me and she said it was banking to the right which would have put him over Whitchurch and A41/.
What ever - at least I have seen another one.
 
At least we still have something to bomb Putin with when he comes - I have horded a load of pitch forks and hard bristle brushes

I wonder how many people on here have any idea what I am talking about.
:rolleyes:
 
Did you even read the 1st reply to your post?
Yes I read it but somehow it went into my head and straight out my backside before my brain could register it. - It's what happens when you reach 40+

We have house martins not swallows,
