Airgunner Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I assume she is showing a CGVRA on FR24? If so, she is now over England. Welcome home Vera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K404 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 (edited) Live TV of arrival at Conningsby by Forces TV Sky 299 Virgin 244 Freesat 652 Thankyou very much! Sadly, I have none of those options! BBC news has updated its article to say that there's no confirmation on where it will land? :/ That'd be a right dampener for the veterans. It's no small feat getting ~100 90 year olds out for a long day :/ Edited August 8, 2014 by K404 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sloegin57 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Marvellous sight overhead Fife - not a dry eye in the garden. I just hope the crew and ground crew with her never have to buy a pint whilst they are in the UK. DR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Womby Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share Posted August 8, 2014 I assume she is showing a CGVRA on FR24? If so, she is now over England. Welcome home Vera. Not quite 'welcome home' as she was built in Canada (along with many others) and I don't think she ever went to UK before (though IIRC she has a repair made from a section of a Lancaster that did fly combat over Germany).
