Canadian Lancaster due at Revival

[atmotofoto1]

Hi hi,

Could be that the Canadian Lancaster is putting in an appearance? Maybe the Memorial Flight will fly with it?

Confirmed long ago that both aircraft will be making an appearance.

Confirmed where?

So far the only mention I've seen is on the Canadian Lancs' tour schedule which says that "both Lancs" will be at the Revival on Saturday and Sunday. However there is no mention of Goodwood on the BBMF 2014 schedule, which only says its Lanc will be at Duxford on the Sunday.

There is nothing as yet on the Goodwood Revival website.

(I asked the question a few days ago on the GRRC forum but (predictably) there has been no answer).

Confirmed on the the Canadian tour website. I'll find out in the morning as I'm with both parties this weekend.

Both aircraft will be displaying although not together is what I've been told. Will get more information closer to the date.

Saw them both at Eastbourne yesterday - put a lump in my throat, particularly as I was with a group of veterans who flew them in the war.

They are packing in as many shows as they can over then next 2 months and for anyone interested in aviation its a spectacle not to be missed.

Mid-morning yesterday they flew over the garden heading E(Swanley). The sound of 8 Merlins in close proximity is spine tingling. Made my day, anyone wavering it's worth going to Revival just for the display they'll be doing!

Quote from the Revival preview supplement in yesterday's Telegraph:

"Goodwood is hoping to stage one its most memorable Revival "moments" ever, to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the founding of the RAF base whose perimeter road became a racing circuit three years after the war ended.

The "West Sussex at War" parade on the Sunday will honour the part that the airfield and its surrounding area played in the Second World War, and will involve more than 600 vehicles and personnel, as well as the only two Avro Lancaster bombers still in flight.

During the parade, the Lancaster bombers will join Spitfire and Hurricane fighters in a flypast. It'll be the first time that the two Lancasters will have flown together above Goodwood for more than 40 years. "
