We were out near the West Yorkshire/Derbyshire border last Sunday & also saw a Dakota.
I heard that there was the 'BBMF' Lancaster spotted as well.

I'll admit I had to think twice about that question., I first thought "Daft Beggar!" :wink:
Then realised it's a very valid question, I presume it's mainly to keep the collection under one roof, flight-crews & engineering team.
The History page gives some back ground

That's the Panton brothers Lancaster at East Kirkby.
I've been there as well, but was fortunate enough to go when they had a 2-seater Spitfire visiting (& flying :D  :D  :D )
