There's a Lancaster outside my window!

Here I am, minding my own business, waiting for the Formula One practice to start, when I hear this distant rumbling...

And then over the hill some 70 meters above ground comes a lone Lancaster flying!

I did hear the news yesterday it was touring Denmark, paying tribute by visiting the graveyards where british pilots are burried.

Some 14 days ago I submitted these photos http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...&postcount=265 from the local memorial, and hearing about the Lancaster visit, I was kind of aggrevated that they wouldn't pass here, at least according to the route I saw.

And yet here they are!

Lovely sight. And sound!

Even 200 meters away, four Rolls Royce Merlin engines makes a lot of noise...

The flight plan, but they went south to Esbjerg after visiting Ringkobing/Stadil...

Unfortunately he didn't have the Spitfire and Hurricane with him, or no other escort - just one lone plane.
