Vulcan & Two Lancasters Formation at RAF Marham Families Day 2014

A very moving occasion , to be right under the formation as XH558 climbed away with the characteristic Olympus howl as eight Merlins continued straight overhead.
The Avro Anson, another Roy Chadwick design, was a bonus and is included here as something of a memorial to a great aircraft designer whose designs saved the World from an unimaginable fate for two generations.
It was also great to see the two Lancasters display, the BBMF having brought along another RR Merlin in the Hurricane and the distinctive RR Griffon in the Spitfire, Last of the Many.
Many thanks to all in Canada and the UK who helped to make this unforgettable event happen.
Thanks also to all the flight crews for flying in such marginal conditions, the gusts of wind overcame my normally efficient microphone dougal. Sharp gusts of wind and bucketfuls of emotion overcame my normally steady camera hand too.

I was stood nearby but more towards the runway, had a tear in the corner of my eye as they went over though and goosebumps that lasted until the sisters went on their way. Used to get Vulcans over quite often where I live and seeing it bought back childhood memories, a truely special moment and it's great to be able to see other's angles on the display.

When the old v bird climbs away to be followed on by 8 merlins, just pure music 😊

Hi Canberra 3, thanks for standing in the right place at the right time. Do you mind if I grab about 30 seconds of this (the bit where 558 climbs out of formation) to put on our website and share? Bill Ramsey Captain XH 558

Hi Bill, yes, of course you may use any part of my video - & many thanks to you & the crews, flight & ground for such a marvellous day! Ron WJ680

Fantastic video, It's a great shame that a very good Summer turned 'British' in August. At 5.35 it looks like they are mating--pity they can't--we'd have lots of little Lanc's.

Thanks for sharing. Can you tell me what camera you used for the footage?

[@canberra3]

Hi Fastbowler, its a Sony HDR-PJ780 with which I've been very pleased, probably superseded now though. Ron
