Totally agree, it may be fashionable to be critical of their actions these days but in their time and in their place they did us proud

**** fashionable ...... and be grateful to every last one of them

Never acceptable to criticize those that gave everything. Anyone seen the new "Lancaster" film?

Called "Lancaster"?

 

[Lancs Lad]

Called "Lancaster"?

That's it . Saw it advertised somewhere.looked ok.

Did sound good, surprisingly quiet though, heard an approaching piston engined aircraft and jumped up to see what it was and was startled to see four engines and the distinctive tail. It was heading Bristol/Bath direction and I'd imagine that on the approach to it's target it would have been just as discrete

The noise definitely increases once they are overhead - not a great deal of shouting on approach!

No all in upper Derwent valley

We’re we are currently we get aircraft almost every week, and they are generally below us.

Been there since April had loads of typhoons sometimes 4 of them, chinook regular, apache, c130s type or Hercules funny looking out digger down onto a banking Hercules

Had some navy merlins and the red arrow trainer ones. Great when they come flying past

A place I used to hedge cut for, had a habit of repairing fences by just shoving netting in the bottom of the hedge , used to end up like that at least once a season.
I wish we had a cordless grinder back then

I know the pain that comes the first time you flail your own hedge. I have learnt not to throw it back in the hedge after you untangle it!!
