The BBMF Lancaster is seen here thundering off from RIAT on the Saturday in heavy rain, making its departure following cancellation of the weekend flying display. It made several flights the previous day and participated in the ninety-aircraft formation flypast to celebrate the 90th anniversary of the RAF and the presentation of colours by the Queen.

With a flypast at Windermere booked in, and transiting down from PIK, took a gamble which paid off! Great to catch the Lancaster low level again
