Wackie 938 Posted July 17, 2016 Just more foolish comments which, increasingly, are becoming part-and-parcel of member responses on various BSF threads these days. Indeed, I understand where you're coming from, sorry about that. It's like those people who continue to post links to openly available information thinking it's an important contribution to the forum. Wouldn't be so bad but the links are generally off topic and or completely irrelevant! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it's something you don't like or similarly by a Poster you don't like then just move on! Simple answer. Edited July 17, 2016 by Guest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Starman2006 2,356 Posted July 17, 2016 Here we go, another meaningless thread of 2000 odd posts. You lot really have confirmed you will talk about anything. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Star Lady 5,400 Posted July 17, 2016 (edited) Better than talking about nothing but just for you. Here's something...saw the only remaining flying Lancaster bomber take to the skies on its first test flight following a long lay off this afternoon. Absolutely nothing sounds or looks like it. I'm really chuffed. Is that better Starry? Edited to add Should be only one in the UK, there is one in Canada but that's it I think.

You are also right that there is nothing like the sound of those Rolls Royce Merlin Engines either. Incidentally, the Canadian Lancaster was over here last year and flew with the one from the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (The Spirit of the Ruhr).. This quote from the Marshal of the Royal Air Force Sir Arthur (Bomber) Harris, Commander in Chief of Bomber Command: “I would say this to those who placed that shining sword in our hands: Without your genius and efforts we could not have prevailed, for I believe that the Lancaster was the greatest single factor in winning the war.” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Incidentally, the Canadian Lancaster was over here last year and flew with the one from the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (The Spirit of the Ruhr).. I was lucky enough to see them fly together TWK, Thumper and Vera flew alongside the last flying Vulcan (now grounded) over Marham. Only stood in a ruddy onion field for 6 hours with hubby waiting to see them but it's something I will never forget. Have been to Woodhall Spa this weekend to a 40s festival and we had lunch in the Bluebell Inn, which is where the pilots from 617 Squadron used to drink. Was a strange feeling but a very proud one knowing I was sitting where so many of those brave men had sat. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
