Battle of Britain Memorial Flight is hangared at Waddington.............
That's one plane I wouldn't mind having to stop and watch.
Wife's Grandad was a Tailgunner in one of those (Pathfinders) , and he got hit by Shrapnel. When he was recovering in hospital, "his" plane with a relief crew got shot down over Belgium with all those on board dying.........

BBMF is based down the road from me at Coningsby.
One of my fellow Lions was a Radio operator on Lancs. He has some fascinating stories.

Similar set up on the A5 across Anglesey as it passes Mona airfield.
Apologies. I stand corrected.

The Lancaster used to be based at Waddington, before it became a BBMF item. My uncle used to be the flight engineer on it when it was at Waddington.
Humberside airport also has traffic lights.
and RAF Valley too, several RAF bases have the same set up, just in case anything goes wrong on landing and the aircraft come in either, too fast, too low, or have an emergancy
excellent shot by the way, i did work experience in 2006 on that aircraft

It does but not used that often.
The flight path is over my garden, I can wave to the pilots coming into land.
