Poetry in motion . . .
Maybe too high Baz - bouncing bomb was released at 60 feet between 240-250 mph ...:eek:
Great shot of a Lanc over Derwent Water, only one thing better ... Two Lancs !

All the best,

Great pictures!
Barry: well done, as usual, but I think Dave wins the hand with, "I'll see your Lancaster, and raise you one."
Lovely pic of an iconic aircraft.
Great pictures, Barry and Dave!
Really impressive photo, Baz.
Any info where and when it was taken?
Great photo. Maybe dropping a few torps ?
Here are a couple more over the Derwent Dam.

Those are great photographs, Rob!
The photographs will have been taken in 2014 when the Canadian Lancaster was over here visiting the United Kingdom.
I do not think that a Lancaster was ever used to drop a torpedo, Bob. The Lancasters were flying low to commemorate the practice missions for dropping the 'bouncing Bombs' on the Dams Raid.
:confused: Sadly no info on where except from Dave's comment on "Over Derwent Water".Quote:

Fantastic event it must have been. Simply the essence of flying.
nice! theres something stirring about a large bomber at low level.
If not dambusting, possibly minelaying. Aside from coastal areas, the Rhine and Danube rivers were heavily mined (and a number of transport canals, IIRC).Quote:

Also that September the two flying Lancs visited their grounded cousin 'Just Jane' at East Kirkby.
How low can you get!
