Ive just noticed on the BBMF Website that the Lancaster/Spitfire are displaying at Carlisle 24/8.No details as yet as to which event they are attending.Would be nice if they were to refuel at Carlisle.It looks as though Carlisle will be the most northerly of their displays that day so it "could " be a possiblity.

I've just read on the RAF Falcons website they are attending Keswick Air Show on the 25th. Connected?

BBMF might be something to do with Carlisle live, just a thought as Stobbarts are sponsering that event.

If it is Chris, I wouldn't mind if Stobart's got 100sqn again. They seemed to be having fun at that private bash at the airport last year...

Any news on this lot? Are they landing at Carlisle or just displaying? If so where?

The word on the street is that last time the Lancaster came in to Carlisle Airport it had difficulty negociating The taxiways as its wheel track is very wide ans quite close to the grass edge.With it being such a rare beast it would be a shame to have a mishap on the grass.

I'm not certain but I'm thinking back, did the Lanc use the alpha t'way once? Anyway I emailed the BBMF to try and get a definate answer as to their intentions, albeit probably too late, as I only found the email yesterday. |

Was up at the airport today in the tower, neither ATC nor Ops knew of the BBMF coming to the airport or operating the city. Despite this the Helime and RAF helis kept me occupied, along with Mcfly's priate plane ;D
