Its 60 years since the outbreak of WWII and on my way home from slave labour at work this morning I had the pleasure if somewhat scary of a fly past. It was the WWII Memorial flight and at a time when a camera would have been good, I didnt have one. It was 1 Lancaster bomber (1 of only 2 still flying i believe) a Spitfire and a Hurricane. It was the first time I have ever seen a flying Lancaster and it was awesome. Ok all 3 were from a part of a story in history full of heartbreak misery death and destruction but sadly was needed to give us our cherished freedoms today. I must admit though at approx 200 feet over Grangemouth I had to halt my bike and stare along with others as they roared over and i mean roar. Just wondering if we will ever forget what these aircraft stand for or if others have had the shock n awe of seeing them.
