"One of these things is not like the other..." American interloper where there should be a DH-98
Great formation though!

The Trenchard formation really was something special and hopefully will be seen again in future years.
The actual Trenchard formation consists of the DC3 leading the Lancaster with a Hurricane one side and Spitfire the other, the formation above is known as "Trenchard Large" and got a great response.
I never saw either formation from the ground, but did from the air, there is a story in that flight alone which I may write and put in a magazine or two.

Let's also not forget that most of those engines up there are American built.  |

Here is a photo from the flight. BBMF over RAF Coningsby last month. The CO of the BBMF was very keen to get a picture of them over home base so am very pleased we could do that.  6546546 by Gavin Conroy, on Flickr |

Do the Dakota crew members also fly the Lancaster and vice versa? Or do they stick to their specific aeroplane for the season?

Also does the BBMF still have their Chipmunks? You never see them any more.

Yes the Chippies are still there. I belong to the BBMF supporters Club and get a nice magazine plus email updates about the flight and saw a photo of one of them having an engine test.
