The BBMF have realeased the display dates for May and on May 16th they will be displaying at Derwent water with the Lancaster, Spitfire, Hurricane and Dakota. Low level photographers will come in their thousands i would predict!  |

Done a quick Google and all I can see is the Keswick Mountain Festival.Hardly an aviation event but stranger things have happend.No mention on its website of flypasts.

This could possibly be another Derwent water and not the one at Keswick. Apparently the local CRO doesn't know of an event at our Derwent water.

Is Derwent reservoir the one where 617 sqn practised for the Dams raids in WW2? Possibly an anniversary, as the dams raids were in May 1943 I think?

Hey Rich good well be, never thought of that one. But it must be the d**n in yorkshire, that the fly past is centered on.

I'd say so Tim. I found this photo of a memorial on the dam. Looks like they had something for the 45th anniversary in '88. Perhaps they are commemorating the 65th?  |

As discussed with Chris earlier today, this is Derwent Water in South Yorkshire, just to the west of Sheffield. It's a great location for low-level photography, so I'm definitely taking the day off for this!  It is the 65th anniversary of the Dams Raid - the BBMF have a Spitfire, Hurricane and Lancaster earmarked for the display (as confirmed with the BBMF earlier this morning). Graeme |

I think that it will be a single flypast by each of the aircraft rather than a display
if you look on the BBMF site they actually print display at the bigger shows
in the last few years I have been to a number of these flypasts and its usually the single pass
I think I will still travel down and see what all the fuss is about LOL
cheers Chris
