Saw something in the Sheffield Telegraph last weekend and this weekend about it

This weekend they said 3 Hercs, Dakota, Tiger Moth (?!) and helicopter with Richard Todd on board were flying over. Asked Dad today as they live on Win Hill if he heard anything but he hadn't.

Paper also said potential suprise visit by Lanc but from what I heard on Saturday night I think it's still being worked on.

In addition to seeing the Lanc do that run, I also saw from the same place a Vulcan do the run,(accompanied by a Hastings) only as soon as it passed over the dam wall it went into a full power 45 degree climb, setting off all the car alarms. Now that was impressive!
