What an amazing tribute to all the people lost in the war 🇬🇧. Thanks for sharing

[@HelenandDave]

Hi Andrew, it was quite moving to read all of the names of those who lost their lives. Thanks for watching 👍

[@terryfielding8836]

Thanks Dave and Helen, another great video. Looks a very interesting site. Cheers Terry

[@HelenandDave]

Hi Terry, thank you. Once again, we had a lovely few days away and Dakota was a first for us but we will visit again for sure. Thanks for watching and all the best, Dave & Helen 👍

[@HitchUpAndTow]

One area of the country we have never camped but I can see that changing next year. Thanks for sharing👍

[@HelenandDave]

Hi Mark & Coral, lovely area, we had a great stay. Thanks for watching. Cheers Dave and Helen 👍

[@davidandrewstarbuck2151]

Really enjoyed our visit and with Armistice day upon us it was quite moving to visit the Dambusters memorial. 👍

[@HelenandDave]

It was amazing 👍

[@davefella1890]

Wow!... as has already been mentioned the typhoon going almost vertical is awe inspiring... we always look forward to your videos so keep them coming... cheers... Dave and Jane

[@HelenandDave]

Hi Dave & Jane, thank you so much for watching our channel, we really appreciate it. Yeah, the planes were awesome, we really enjoyed it. ATB, Dave & Helen 👍

[@donbooth9284]

hi Dave & Helen just enjoyed watching your latest vid with clips of my home town Lincoln , i have just spent today visiting Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre at East Kirkby just a few miles from Coningsby which is well worth a visit they have a Lancaster there which does taxi runs, after full restoration they hope to get it airworthy. Lost my wife 10 yrs ago but still continue to caravan at 80 and enjoy my travels look forward to your next vid. thanks Don.

[@HelenandDave]

Hi Don, thanks for your lovely comment. They told us at the aviation museum about this, a lot of work, time and money but to get a 2nd air worthy Lancs would be amazing. Lincoln is a beautiful place. We hope we’re still Caravanning at 80! full of admiration for you. All the best. Dave & Helen 👍

[@barbsdee3831]

We were coming back from Boston hospital on the back road a few months ago when 3 typhoons were doing circuits and bumps (my dad was in the RAF and they used to do it in Vulcans when I was little). A few days later my daughter phone me and said “You know when we saw those Typhoons doing bumps and grinds……” 😂🤣 I laughed my socks off!

[@HelenandDave]

Hi Barbs, the Vulcan is our favourite plane, both our parents are ex RAF and Dave’s dad was a pilot. We have their names in the bomb bay of the last Vulcan to fly which is at Robin Hoods Airport at Doncaster. Love watching the planes touch & go! We’re off to RAF Mildenhall with the caravan shortly, The Willows is a regular place we visit with the caravan 👍

[@TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel]

Hi dave & helen , love looking back at all those old pics you out up of the squadrons , lovely little site too , like you say who cares about road noise when you got eurofighters skimming your aerial 😂 Nice one both have a good weekend 👍

[@HelenandDave]

Hi Kirsty & Mike, thanks very much, you know us, love the planes and these days favouring the little private sites and CL’s. Hope you’re both well and looking forward to your weekend. ATB Dave & Helen 👍

[@robswiseways5697]

Hi Dave & Helen, A great find for you both, just your cup of tea. We don’t mind a CL (as long as it’s hardstanding and serviced you know us) they are a good way to balance the touring budget. We’ve been looking at CL’s in the area to book a trip next year. All the best, Rob & Gail

[@HelenandDave]

Hi Rob & Gail, thanks very much, yes we know your preferences by now lol but have to agree, CL's and some of these private sites are the way forward for us. Regards, to you both. ATB, Dave & Helen

[@Motorhome-Mazz]

Good video. I lived in Peterborough for 8 years in the 80’s, but I never visited Lincoln. Next time we stay at Ferry Meadows in Peterborough I will go and visit Lincoln.

[@HelenandDave]

Hi Marilyn, I worked in Peterborough years, know the area well. Lincoln is well worth a visit. We enjoyed our time at Dakota Park and Coningsby, thanks for watching, ATB Dave & Helen 👍

[@mellarner8253]

Great stuff as usual, the still photos are superb too, excellent shots. We enjoy that area too, several trips there, not seen all the Bomber memorabilia in Lincolnshire yet, so will be returning several more times. Never miss going to see the progress on the Just Jane Lanc. Also had a birthday meal in the Petwood Hotel one year, that oak panelling is something else, got a history lesson from a local who said the panelling in the hotel was covered over to preserve it from the antics of the aircrew apparently.!

[@HelenandDave]

Hi Mel, thank you so much for your comment. We’ve visited the hotel a few times, love the bar 🍺😊. Like you, we will be back. ATB Dave and Helen 👍

[@dbarber2003]

My 2nd favourite place on days off, Im working just down the road from here next Thursday and Friday. Guess where I will be for my lunch hour 😁. I work in Lincoln quite alot and the best parts if the city now are up around Lincoln Castle . Great video as always guys keep up the good work. 👍👍👍

[@HelenandDave]

Hi Daryl, loved it mate and we will be back before too long. Enjoy your lunch breaks 👍 ATB Dave & Helen 👍

[@busterboy7505]

Hello Dave and Helen and Tom, looks like a great place for watching those fighter jets, I’ve watched the Dam buster film many times, thanks for your video 👍.

[@HelenandDave]

Hi Buster, yeah it was great, we all really enjoyed it, especially Tom who is hoping for a career in the RAF. As always, thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. ATB Helen, Dave & Tom 👍

[@TrevorBoakes]

Once again another fantastic video, that Typhoon going vertical definitely has the wow factor 👏 Lovely to see the memorial to 617 squadron and of course the BBMF. Thanks guys 🙂

[@HelenandDave]

Cheers Trevor, really appreciate that feedback. Must say though, the Typhoons were spectacular. Thanks for watching. ATB Dave & Helen 👍

[@caravanstuff2827]

I remember reading that during the height of battle of Briton the average life expectancy for fighter pilots was 5 days...and for bomber crews it was 5 weeks and still Thay went up day after night...Thay we're truly the GREATEST GENERATION!!!.🤔💕🇬🇧🇺🇦

[@HelenandDave]

Completely agree, those boys and girls saved our country and probably the rest of the world from invasion. We will never forget. Thanks for watching and leaving this comment. ATB Dave and Helen 👍

[@DesmondsDonders]

RAF Lincolnshire I remember it well. 617 were at Lossie when I was on XV sqn. I suspect it was one of the squadrons going on QRA the sqn would be getting all the aircraft they could to be serviceable before then. .Thanks folks

[@HelenandDave]

Hi Dave, yes I recall 617 being at Lossiemouth. Fabulous time watching these boys & girls and they gave us some fab picture opportunities too. ATB to you both, Dave & Helen 👍

[@Snipe_Squad]

Must have just missed this i live in Lincoln :')

[@HelenandDave]

Hi Trooper, wonderful place. Do you get to Coningsby much? Thanks for watching. Cheers Dave and Helen 👍

[@Snipe_Squad]

I pass by every now and again but don't usually get to stay normally just passing through for pool games

[@kurts_aviation]

another good vlog Dave spent many an hour watching the Typhoons and the BBMF flight just amazing to watch, as for Woodhall Spa go to visit the place in August they hold a 1940's weekend it is fantastic Tanks, Military equipment of all kind obviously many many people dressed in clothing and uniforms of the era. The BBMF do a flyover too.

[@HelenandDave]

Thanks so much! You know how exhilarating it is to see these planes then 👍 I’ve heard about the 40’s weekend at Woodhall Spa and can only imagine the nostalgia with everyone dressed up and the BBMF giving it large too. Thanks so much for watching. ATB Dave & Helen 🥳

[@jom1164]

You can see the airbase from the top of Tattershall Castle, it's gives a great view of the planes.

[@HelenandDave]

Hi, thanks for watching. That would be a great place, especially with a good zoom lens on the camera. We’ve never visited the castle but will ensure it’s on our must visit list for next time! Cheers, Dave and Helen 👍

[@planecrazyaviation7773]

Lovely little CL, haven’t been up to Coningsby for some time, those QRA Typhoons are just amazing. Another great video guys. Thanks!

[@HelenandDave]

Thanks Steve, nice and handy. Thanks for watching, cheers Dave & Helen 👍

[@ian221]

Next time you are in Woodhall Spa there is a brilliant old style cinema called Kinema in the woods. It's a must see if you do not know about it.

[@HelenandDave]

Hello Ian, never been but a few people we know have mentioned it. Sounds like we need to go. Thanks for watching, ATB Dave and Helen 👍

[@karllake8976]

Heart attack hill we know it as we stayed in woodhall spa very nice place went in to the officers mess of 617 squadron visited the bbmf museum saw the Lancaster in its new paint job phantom of the ruhr

[@HelenandDave]

Hi Karl, great! We thoroughly enjoyed our trip there. Been a few times to Coningsby, Woodhall Spa etc but our first time at Dakota Park. Ideal location for us and I’m sure we will return there. The officers mess is fascinating. If the walls could talk! ATB Dave and Helen 👍

[@gregcale8285]

I love this video Dave. I especially loved your visit to the memorial flight museum. I work at Biggin Hill airport so every day the spitfires are taking off and landing it’s just a lovely sound of the Merlin engine. How far in advance did you have to book the pitch? I think we will have to go there. Thanks again for your great video. 😊

[@HelenandDave]

Thanks Greg, really pleased you enjoyed it. We only we booked the week before we went there. Must agree, the sound of the Merlin is out of this world. How lucky you are to be working at Biggin Hill. Thanks for watching. ATB, Dave & Helen

[@helenandmartinsTreks]

At 3 mins in H has already declared that we are going here 😂😂😂 Definitely our sort of place that. Brilliant photos and video Dave. The rate of climb of those Typhoons is amazing. So we are in your debt yet again for showing us another gem. Best wishes H and M .

[@HelenandDave]

That girl has taste 👍 Martin, watching Typhoon’s was breathtaking at times and they were night flying all week, at one point we had a dozen or so of them flying circuits, touch and goes for a couple of hours whilst we had fish & chips! Marvellous. The beauty of us all sharing our travels on KZbin, we can view before we book. Thanks both, ATB Dave & Helen
