As a birthday present, Ann bought us tickets to the son et lumiere of Lancaster NX611 'Just Jane' at East Kirkby Airfield. There was smoke, lights, re-enactors, a searchlight and the Air Ambulance even got in on the act with its light. The shattered engines in the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Museum are a Bristol Mercury from a Blenheim and the crankshaft and pistons of a Packard Merlin that hit the ground quite hard. The moon made an appearance, and eventually they switched off all the lights and effects and the Lancaster was lit solely by the moonlight. Thanks, Ann, for a great event.
