 Battle of Britain Memorial Flight. A Spitfire, Lancaster Bomber, and a Hurricane.

This Lancaster is one of only 2 still flying. The only other is in Canada.

I heard her fly over our house and knew the engine sound immediately from so many films. 

I dashed outside with tears in my eyes. It was this sight which made me go to the airshow the following day.

This display was a time capsule of the 1940s.

“Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.” Sir Winston Churchill.

Now a much lighter note.

Steam roller and model aircraft….now what could go wrong.

This clip from the Dad’s Army film from about 1.00 onwards immediately sprang to my mind.

I had my 1st go with a gun since I was a kid. 

9/10 wasn’t bad! 

Now all I need is a rocking chair, porch and a bad mood, then the world can be afraid…very afraid!
