And old girlfriends father flew a B-24in WWII and one of his last missions was photo recon of Nagasaki after the a-bomb was dropped. He said the

I woke up this morning to the sound of Merlin engines, pulled back the bed room curtains just in time to see the Lancaster fly over my house at about 500 feet!

I live quite close to the RAF's Battle of Britain Memorial Flight's base at RAF Conningsby.
