A B52 flew all the way from the US a couple of days ago to do a fly-past at Farnborough. The skies cleared, the crowd waited and the tower talk-over commenced. Only for Tex to zoom over Blackbush at 200 feet and then disappear towards London.

OOps!

A Kiwi pub landlord watched this performance from his garden, and commented that he had been in Vietnam, where the yanks coined the phrase 'friendly Fire', seems like nothing has changed.

Not sure, I live in Sherwood, Nottingham. Quite impressive though.

WB, yes, the flypast was for the Village of Smalley, god knows why, but posters were up in all the back lanes from Derby to Heanor, unfortunately, due to work, i missed it. I belive it was the British Grand Prix weekend when it happened.

I hope we don't stop commemorating WW2 & key events in it when the generation which lived through & fought it have gone. I personally think as this time approaches WW2 shold take a larger role in education so it can't be forgotten, too many lessons to be taken from it!

If you think that one Lancaster shook your house, yet there was time when I was a lad the sky was black with them, not only did they shake your house the very bones in body would vibrate, add to that a few squadrons of B17 and sundry other aircraft then you can say you have seen air power in action.

I won't say i'm sorry i wasn't there during that time but I am sorry I didn't see something like that. Must of been a sight.
