You Don't See This Every Day...

Lancaster bombers flying over the Ayrshire coast, Sunday morning.

A low hum of engine noise in the distance.

There they are!

And then they're gone.   They banked over the Prestwick Airport, then headed out over the Irish sea to Portrush, where I was last week. 

The aircraft had been due to appear at the Ayr Air Show the previous day, along with two Spitfires, but bad weather prevented them from taking off.  Because of that, we had a display pretty much to ourselves on Sunday morning.

Once in a lifetime stuff...
