WOW - What an engine!!!! The sheer size of the thing, we didn't see the slightly well done one that is off for repair but the inspection hatches were open on the other 3 as the engineers were working on them to make sure they didn't go the same way. Hopefully they'll have it back running soon.
You should have gone down the road to East Kirkby. You can have a go inside a Lancaster, I couldn't believe how cramped it was inside and they even get it out and taxi it. What a noise
