Saw them today at Dunsfold. We didn't want to go into the airfield, but hoped we could see them from a local vantage point. We struck lucky when a local fisherman who saw me driving slowly down the lane, extended an invitation to park by his private lake. We had a fantastic view of everything except the small aircraft flying close to the airfield.
The BBMF and VERA arrived at 13.30 and treated us to a wonderful display. They were making their turns right over our heads, so we had a better view than the paying public.

Local fisherman! Where did he park his trawler?

Trawler? In deepest Surrey? There's more than one way to catch a fish.

He was probably just trawler trash.

Was hoping to see the two Lancs at the Bournemouth Air Festival tomorrow, but some
disappointing news. Blast!

Let's hope it's nothing too serious..
