Phantom of the Ruhr unveiling!

27/04/2007 by Pudsey.

Another special day today – it’s the unveiling of the ‘Phantom of the Ruhr’ colour scheme ceremony - & Dale’s coming to this & attending the mess dinner tonight – oh wow! Everybody loved the new colour scheme & lots of pictures were taken – Dale is convinced that it looks like Wingbasher … he wants to put a poll up on the forum – well that should be fun Dale has pointed out an interesting fact to me … there are only 3 Lancasters in the whole world that can move under their own steam – 1 is at East Kirkby (Just Jane) & I’ve taxyed on that one; 1 is the BBMF one which I’ve just flown on; & the other is in Canada & I should be going out there with Howard Cook … does this mean that I’m going to be the only person who has been on all 3!! Caught up with Major tonight at the mess dinner – loved his attire!! Well it was goodbye to Dale & Andrea again after the dinner as they had to depart while I’ve got more flying to do with the BBMF boys … Lanc done & dusted … now where’s that Spit??
