Went to this last year. Had a great day out..A Lancaster on full revs is an awesome sight and sound.
Think we will go to this years one aswell.

I know of this event and wish that I could go this year but already committed elsewhere. No, there is no sound quite like a Merlin at full chat: Water cooled V12, wailing supercharger, 27 litres!! My boss has just returned from the states where he had enjoyed an ‘experience’ flight in a P51-D…lucky b@st@rd!!
The pictures and video clips were amazing. Another P-51 flew in formation with him for a while too.
The P-51 is normally a single seater but a few have been modified to seat two; the passenger sitting in tandem with the pilot seating where radio gear and fuel tank once resided.
This is the P51 he flew in…Crazy HorseI would love to do that, but need a bit of a pay rise!
Let us know how the show goes and post some pictures!
Last call..anyone going?
I’ll be leaving North Staffs at 8 ish hoping to arrive there at 10 ish. Feel free to tag along.
