BBMF PDA day scheduled for the 19th has been cancelled today.
Only one serviceable aircraft at present (Hurricane PZ865). All others unserviceable for various reasons.

I was wondering if anyone had any news on the current state of BBMF aircraft? I see TE311 and LF363 have been up this weekend, but I have seen nothing recently regarding the Lancaster and how things are going at Duxford.

I assumed that with the Dakota having such a short season last year, it would be out and about early this year, getting some flying hours in for the bomber crews. I am obviously wrong, I have seen no mention of it at all.

Heading up on Wednesday whether it's PDA week or not.According to the Notams,there are practice displays Mon to Thurs anyway.

I have seen the dakota do plenty of engine runs this year but have not seen it fly so i guess they are still having a few issues with it.

Dakota was due at Abingdon as a replacement for the Lancaster, pulled out yesterday.

Not all Crash Gates where closed Crash Gate1 was open because I was there all day and there was a few people down Reedham Lane as well.

Regards.

I wondered if anyone had any news on progress with the Dakota or any idea what the problems are?

I understand the Dakota needs to be operational for a few weeks to bring the crews back up to speed, then the Lancaster can be retrieved from Duxford and start its workup? Assuming of course that the Lancaster is ready?
