I have just been sat out watching the qualifiers on the river, and it is still going on. The planes are great - and loud!!!!!! The actual race is tomorrow. It's really hot and such a nice day. Anybody else watching?

Kinda related, but it's the Sunderland Air Show today too and I've just seen some Lancaster bombers go over my house with the red arrows in tow. Yey.

I did Baz. It is top viewing. Would love to see it live. The control they have is stunning.

Must admit I got a shiver down the spine when it went over -and mentally hummed The Dam Busters March - as probably did everyone else on the seafront, the ones that were'nt singing it out loud that is!! strange the effect a machine can have when it is steeped in such history |

When i was about 11[ish] I queued to sit in one at a display on Airborne Forces Day, wasn't a flight capable one - my dad was serving at that time [2 Para] , but the queue was huge and I gave up and went to the much shorter "Lightning" queue instead. Oh how I regret that decision as an adult driving for two hours to watch a Lanc flyby |
