A great story about a great team, they really work hard to keep the old girl flying especially as they are a private enterprise unlike the BBMF which is part of the RAF.

I had the pleasure of seeing her fly over my house several times a few years back when she was attending a local airshow.

Also unlike the BBMF.. you can fly in their Lanc if you have a fistful of cash :)

Still.. we are fortunate to see a lot of the BBMF at displays over here so one can't complain ;)

Yup, the day it flew over here they were giving rides but it was way beyond my wallet being on a disability pension. :(

From what I can gather they cycle patrons through the various positions (barring pilot of course) once in flight but for tako-off/landing the patrons are mid-fuselage on fold down jump seats.
