Busy day at RAF Marham Many people are still arriving, in the hope of getting a glimpse of the only two remaining airworthy WW2 Avro Lancaster bomber aircraft taking part in this year's Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, which are scheduled for a flypast over RAF Marham whilst en-route to the Clacton Air Show in Essex. An RAF police car can be seen in mid-distance.

The world's last remaining flying Vulcan bomber, Vulcan XH558, which is based at Robin Hood Airport, has today joined the last two airworthy Lancasters at RAF Waddington in Lincolnshire for the ‘Three Sisters’ flight – a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see the three Avro aircraft in the skies together.  After a number of flypasts and air shows scheduled in 2014, they will never fly together again. Today's flight was a tribute to Roy Chadwick, chief designer of the Avro Lancaster and preliminary designer of the Avro Vulcan until his untimely death in 1947.

In 2014, the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF) offered the unique occasion to see the only two remaining airworthy Avro Lancaster warplanes together in the skies over the UK, when the Lincolnshire-based BBMF aircraft was joined by a Lancaster owned by the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum (CWHM) for the duration of one month.  The CWHM Lancaster departed from Hamilton, Ontario, on  4 August, with the North Atlantic crossing including en-route stops at Goose Bay (Labrador, Canada), Narsarsuaq  (Greenland) and Keflavik (Iceland), prior to arriving in the UK on 8 August. Together the two aircraft participated in a number of events and activities.  This picture was taken on the occasion of a flypast over RAF Marham in Norfolk.
