Smash the cistern
Out in the playground with my daughter today and the Lancaster flew right over our heads and away over the moors in the direction of Derwent reservoir. So I guess they must have rescheduled.

I'm sure I saw a Spitfire tooling along between Carlisle and Penrith today?
Possibly heading back from the Scottish air show at Prestwick?

That must have been it. Though surely it can't be a coincidence that it was heading straight for the Derwent valley?

I don't remember, it was around 15-18 years ago, maybe more.
If I can find my OS map for that area it might be marked on it...

There's one that makes a few passes over Dowding House and the Dowding Memorial in Moffat this time of year
It flies very low too - what a sight

I think it must be, which is some cycle over the rest and then over the Glen towards Lochgoilhead. Must have been a tough day depending on where you started out.

There was a great old boy now sadly no longer with us who knew every plane crash on the mull of Kintyre since the second world war. He took me and my wife down there one day and pointed out every crash site and the story behind them including exact detail of the local weather including the wind direction if any and more likely exactly how much of the mull was draped in mist. My favourite story was during the war, 4 spitfires had to land on the golf course there as they almost ran out of fuel after protecting our skies over Norway. What a sìte that must have been for a small boy at that time.
Still sorely missed.
A Lancaster flew over the Chatsworth County Fair this weekend, that could be it. Derbyshire Times Photos

There's quite a few jokes in there somewhere.
Last time I looked it wasn't like that!

That must be it. Flown down from Scotland to Derbyshire by the looks of it.
