You don't see this everyday!
Hey guys...
They're a few weeks old, but look what I spotted in Salford, Manchester, UK last month... Take a look! (If you need a teaser clue before you click, it flies, it's WWII, and there are only two flying examples left in the ENTIRE world...) http://img237.imageshack.us/img237/5152/boatrace184dq3.jpg http://img256.imageshack.us/img256/9...race191mo5.jpg http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/1...race192nn0.jpg http://img409.imageshack.us/img409/8...race200ai0.jpg http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/2...race226my1.jpg (that's Salford Quays and the Imperial War Museum North in the photo) http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/6...race275or3.jpg http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/4...race278la0.jpg http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/8...race297qy0.jpg http://img253.imageshack.us/img253/3...race346vc4.jpg (Old Trafford, Manchester United's Stadium in the background) http://img102.imageshack.us/img102/1...race350qi7.jpg Make you dribble?  I was dribbling the whole time...

I guess the other one still flying flies over my house all the time. I've got to stand in it, and just took the old man (and kids) to visit it on the ground a couple of weeks ago. It sure is a beauty, and there's no mistaking the sound of its engines when it flies overhead! Hearing a whole group of them pounding through the air must have really been something back in the day. I'm trying to get my friend to get enough money together to let his grandfather (an RCAF tail gunner) get a ride in it.

Canada's flying B X model was actually only retired from active service in my birth year!
:hmm: Don't know whether that makes me fell more, or less old??? I wish there was a flying Halifax though. I saw the one being restored at Trenton several years ago, but not recently (she was still very early in the restoration phase when I saw her). Nice pics
