I assume you mean the Second World War heavy bomber famous for the Dam Buster Raids as opposed to the entire city, population 45,000 (approx). Shame I missed it. I didn't even hear it over here in the West of Hertford.

The sound of 4 glorious Merlins. We should never forget.

What a brilliant sight, I just caught a glimpse of it. My mum used to make them during the war!

Did anyone else catch sight of the Lancaster Bomber & four Spitfires over Hertford earlier today? I assume they were heading back towards Duxford after the flypast for the Diamond Jubilee at Windsor. Magnificent sight!!!

Evocative sight. Mentioned to my Dad (now 92) that I had seen one today. Also managed to remind him that he wrote one off in 1942.

At the risk of getting into some form of competition here my Dad enjoys telling me how he blew up a Spitfire. And he was in the RAF....! His Warrant Officer was rather upset for some reason. However as this happened somewhere in Lincolnshire & he was sent in disgrace to Anglesey this is not only OT but has absolutely nothing to do with Hertford,. So I’ll get my coat …....

Here is the Lancaster without the little friends, over Hertford last summer I think. [img]http://www.billywindsock.co.uk/railways/model-trains/download-pictures/lanc11.jpg[/img]

Was it having a race with a pigeon? It was when last saw it. [img]http://www.billywindsock.co.uk/railways/model-trains/download-pictures/lanc-327.jpg[/img]

Nope, went round twice to wait for two smaller planes (no idea what!!) to catch up with it.

We saw it from Palmer Road, Bengeo. Only saw it circle ones, but did see the 'smaller planes' in the background. Possibly two Spitfires?

Battle of Britain Memorial Flight has just passed over Bengeo heading roughly SW, Lancaster flying quite low
