OK, spotted on the news at St Athan. For forces day tomorrow I assume? Bet the parking spots are full on the road tomorrow.

One of my all-time favourite planes. What's happening tomorrow exactly? Will keep a look out for anything interesting in the skies!

Well if the Lancaster is at St Athan there's a fair chance it may fly over Bridgend. Will have to have cameras ready!

They both did a circle over the Bay around 1pm for Armed Forces Day. The Red Arrows will be over at 5pm too.

Ha! Popped down to the barrage banking on them coming over that way and they did.


Right over me.

Thanks for the photos. I believe the Lancaster is one of only two that still fly, or it may even be the last one. Made a model of it many years ago, along with the Spitfire.

They did 3 or 4 flyovers of the bay, the mayor of Edinburgh was speaking at the time and went silent as everyone started clapping as they went over. Was an awesome sight and sound, sent a lovely shiver down my spine! Just a pity I was stood in the same spot for like an hour lol.
