Description BBMF Lancaster over RAF Waddington during its airshow in 2009..
Still showing 'Phantom Of the Rhur' nose art, which I personally loved.. Now has 'Thumper' on..
Plan was for this show and previous I attended to fly with the Vulcan, but on ever occasion I went to see the Mighty V bomber fly, it broke!
I only got to see it finally this year, three times!

Wait, wait, wait. Is this VRA the Lancaster in the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum? Cause if it is, I've seen it in person.

Surely a B1?

Having said that, I agree about "Phantom of the Ruhr".

Correct, my mistake getting my Vulcans mixed up with my Lancasters there...
Nice art wasn't it..

Well, there was a Lancaster B2; that was the one with radials instead of Merlins.
