Link had gathered all along the accessible sections of the perimeter fence surrounding RAF Marham, waiting to see the flypast of two WW2 Avro Lancaster bomber aircraft and a Vulcan jet
Link also built by Avro.
In 2014, the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF) offered the unique occasion to see the only two remaining airworthy Avro Lancaster warplanes together in the skies over the UK, when the Lincolnshire-based BBMF aircraft (seen here) was joined by its counterpart, owned by the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum (CWHM) for the duration of one month. The CWHM Lancaster departed from Hamilton, Ontario, on 4 August, with the North Atlantic crossing including en-route stops at Goose Bay (Labrador, Canada), Narsarsuaq (Greenland) and Keflavik (Iceland), prior to arriving in the UK on 8 August. Together the two aircraft participated in a number of events and activities. This picture was taken on the occasion of a flypast over RAF Marham in Norfolk.
