From memory the BOB memorial flight is a Spitfire, a Hurricane and the Lancaster - 6 merlin engines at once - lump to the throat, and hairs on the back of the neck standing up. A great sight anytime.

Working outdoors in southern Ontario, I have the opportunity to see our Canadian Lancaster flying out of Hamilton. The distinctive sound of the four merlin engines is one that is hard to miss. Can't imagine what a thousand bombers all at once would sound like.....

Hi Frank

it must have been defening back then but would love to see/hear it.

Isn't your Lanc the only other one still flying?

Sometimes if the spit can't fly a hurricane takes it's place. Other than that you're right on all counts. Everything stops at the airshows when they fly in.
The only other things that stop everything is the Red Arrows and used to be Concord. (spelt the English way)

The red Arrows with the last flying Vulcan (now sadly grounded) was a fantastic sight
