Title: Sunday 24th August 2014 Little Gransden Air & Car Show Flypast by 2 Lancasters Post by: fay66 on 08 June, 2014, 11:19:36 PM Sunday 24th August 2014.
Little Gransden Air & Car Show. I understand it's been confirmed by the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight that there will be a an appearance of the only 2 Lancasters left flying in the the World.This is the BBMF's Lancaster, which will appear with the Canadian Lancaster that is here on a visit for about 1 month, so this may be the only chance of ever seeing this unique event. See http://www.littlegransdenshow.co.uk/docs/lgas-2014-vehicle-form.pdf In Aid of the BBC Children in Need Appeal 2014, Charity Fly in, Flying Display & Classic & Prestige Vehicle Display. At Fullers Hill Farm Airfield Little Gransden Cambridgeshire 10am- 5.30pm. Note- NO Vehicles will be Allowed to leave before 5pm see booking form for details. Close by was Gransden Lodge which was a WW2 Pathfinder Force Airfield from where many brave men took off in Lancasters, Mosquito & Halifax, for missions over Europe, from which many didn't return. Brian 8227 8) Update, Unfortunately all the individual vehicle places are gone so you'll only be able to go as a visitor, Have a look at www.littlegransdenshow.co.uk for details of booking, prices and all other information, sounds a fantastic day with 4 hours of flying displays!

I think the going rate was hitting $20K, then you had your return flight to pay for!

Looking on the website the Vulcan will also be doing a Fly by, and there's 4 hours of flying displays. Brian 8227 8) |
