Hi Larry,
Thanks for posting ,
What a great sight that was, fitting for the turf cutting ceremony at the new Bomber Command memorial at Canwick Hill.
Roger.

Thank you Larry,
Like watching the first Moon landing, and seeing Halley's Comet.
Or as Wordsworth said:
................
"The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed--and gazed--but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils."
1804.

Doh! Well its not my fault. We go years without any British-designed strategic bombers, and now you can't get away from them. I'm all confused.
