    Passing there this weekend on my way tot the Highland Games in Wijhe, across the river IJssel. I like to walk with a purpose, and it promises to be a beautiful stretch from Heerde to Olst.

    Managed to see both Lancasters flying yesterday on their way back from the Scottish Air Show. They were passing over Holmfirth in Yorkshire, unfortunately flying higher than I would have wished. The weather and visibility were excellent, unfortunately the video did not go to plan, I really wanted to record the noise, although they were a little far away to get the full effect.

    If you are going to do it, do it in a kilt!

    I just read this entire post, because of the shared respect between members. I am touched by your kindness. It makes me proud to be a member. Furthermore, the pictures were spectacular. I love the history of this era. It shows the very best of what humanity can do in times of trouble. Thanks to all for sharing.
    Cheers.
