Privacy Policy

TWO, TWO!! of them 8)

Aaaay up does tha know were abaahts thas best standing for t`see it fly past thi???

Fly past the ukge at grisedale ?

I think its going through that part of the Lakes

10 minutes from Blackburn to Holmfirth – that’d knock a chunk of your commute wouldn’t it?

Hoping to see them tomorrow at the Ayr airshow, along with a Vulcan!

Blackburn at 3.15 – will they be loaded with bombs?

Planning to go up to Holmfirth to watch. Any info on where will be the best place to see them?

Ta…

Anyone “in the know” able to say whether after Holmfirth they’ll do a Derwent dams run?

I’ll be there too. Can’t wait, just hope it doesn’t scare the kids too much 😀

Good point. Before the 60th anniversary run – out of the blue two Tornado’s did a mid-week sneaky low/fast recc’y of the WLT/dam area. I only got to see them by chance. Left me and two walkers a giggly-mess.

8) this is my ‘I’m interested to know too’ face.

Get up Holme Moss, you’ll get a cracking view from there whichever direction they come in from!

If the cloud’s down they might hit it!

I’m thinking Gummers How will be a good spot to watch the Windermere flypast, as I’d imagine they’ll fly down the lake on the way to Morecambe.

I take it from the excitement that they’ve got the Canadian one working again?

Muchas gracias. Over my gaff at 16:05, lovely.

Is the actual route available anywhere, rather than just time-stamps?

Now just to plan* an other-half-friendly route round Holmfirth for Sunday.

*should anyone local be able to offer some advice I’d be grateful, my history of picking green dashed lines that turnout to be fun isn’t so hot.

I’m going to Ayr on the Bonneville. Some excellent British sounds in Ayr tomorrow, then!

dangeourbrain – the holme valley challenge routes should give you somewhere to start:

they did a good one with the Vulcan a week or two back

That’s our main response if argentina invade the falklands again

Thumper and Vera – here I come.

Will Holmefirth be rammed? Is there somewhere nearby where we can park? I can’t walk too far atm, so a mile or under, outside the village would be good.

That really is at least ten different types of awesome.

Timings are on, so flypast Barnoldswick approximately 12:40 tomorrow.

Cheers Chudsy, its a shame they don’t share the flight path any where?

Not far wrong seeing as the fleet has been decimated !

Allerton Castle at 12.15! 5 miles down the road.

*runs off to make sure camera batteries are charged*

The sooner the (good) Argentinians get rid of their incompetent leadership the better. Theyll implode before they fight again.

Nah, it’s one Lancaster and the Vulcan, as the other Lanc is Canadian.

There will be three running Lancasters at E Kirby on 14 Sep (though granted NX611 won’t be flying).

The air show at Ayr tomorrow looks like it could be busy !!

Going to have to dig out my passport to make a trip over the border to Blackburrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrn.

Anyone know any local areas to view from?

Good question Bluearsedfly.

I thought about Darwen Tower but then looked at the map – if they take a straight run to Holmforth then they are more likely to cross over Ramsbottom way after leaving Blackburn.

So Peel Tower or maybe get up to Lee or Cragg Quarries.

Think i may take a chance on Peel Tower.

Good shout! Should be a great spot if they do fly straight over to Holmfirth.

A Lancaster went straight over my head at about 5pm today as I was heading up towards two lads.

Never seen anything like it…. And felt like I could have reached up and touched it it was that close.

Anybody else see it?

Two lads up Rivvi?

Why do I always miss them 🙁

My mind couldn’t compute it to be honest. My first thought was that it was a plane crashing and my second that we were being invaded! From a distance I thought it must be a herc but no mistaking when it came over.

Not something you see everyday.

sadly no flights over the SW 🙁

Saw one flanked by a Hurricane and a Spitfire fly over the house earlier in the summer though. Knew what it was before I saw it.
