Many thanks Fred for putting it altogether, Peter arranged the sunshine I expect. Well done to Andy for looking after Peter's car.
Nice to see David again, been a few years since we last met.

And Banana ran ever so sweet. Warp Factor 3 and a bit was achieved, where it was legal(ish!) And she tripped over onto..............
Nice one Bob, and thanks, it was great to see you again and well done for putting in such an effort.

Certainly due to Peter's legacy, members do attend this meet and clearly go out of their way to do so.

Lucky catch with a very "long lens" on the Lanc..

Have to agree, a great meet. Thanks are due to Fred for arranging things and making us all feel welcome

Oh, and a link for Fred that would seem to indicate we may have missed some of the subtle differences in the decor https://www.getsurrey.co.uk/whats-on...nosqOEa0azhXDE

Thanks for that Cliff, it's odd when one discovers ones priorities........the sausages were just as good, Peter would be pleased.

Well Jennifer, I do think you could be right. Post 29.

Looks like 2 engines per wing, and the tail plane certainly fits.

Fred can probably confirm.

if it is a Lancaster, then I presume it is from the Battle of Britain Flight, and rehearsing for tomorrows State Funeral.

As you say, a lucky shot indeed, or was it was pre-arranged Bob?

The aircraft in the picture is certainly a Lancaster, though digital photography sometimes gives us uncanny abilities to "spot" such rarities.

Image overlay. The photo of the Lancaster was taken at the Shuttleworth Collection in 2014.
