they are according to the CWHM site

As Montgomery Burns would say " Excellent!"

I thought I'd go to the East Kirkby event and try and see three Lancs in one go, but BOTH days are sold out already! 

So much for that idea.....

I bought 25,000 tickets. You can buy them in lots of 9,999. I hope I win. Please don't tell da wife.

The Duxford website says yes they are coming. With the 5 Spitfires and 2 Hurricanes, that makes it 15 Merlins.

Seeing three Lancs lined up would be pretty wild !

Bit in the BBC news today about making it easier for people who own historic aircraft to carry passengers. Apparently a the moment they can only charge a max of £30 but the powers that be are thinking of changing the regs so that the owners can charge more and thus get more help with their costs.

Typical BBC Breakfast/Lunch Time news piece in that it begged more questions then answers, but Dave might know

I thought the CAA were making it MORE difficult to carry passengers! The recent slimming down of the Air Atlantique passenger ops was attributed to just that. I'm glad I got to fly in their Daks, Rapide and Twin Pioneer some years ago.

[The idea of flying in a Twin Pioneer is used here in its WIDEST possible sense, no feeling of movement is apparent....]

As I said Kit it was BBC Breakfast and they cover things very quickly. But I swear the reporter said that they will be able to charge more and passengers will just have to sign a waiver saying they understand the dangers.

I very nearly called in sick today to go to the 3-ship flypast. It strikes that they could have had a few more Avro types fly in to Waddington, there's plenty of 504s and a couple of Ansons out there.

Right now I hope to see the Lancs fly over Windermere on September 7th and have plans to go to the Duxford Airshow.

Roy wouldn't be the only one I was travelling down to Swansea for the IPC Athletics and listening to the traffic reports of the gridlock around Waddington
