BBMF Lancaster 'Thumper'

The BBMF lancaster which is nicknamed Thumper after the cartoon rabbit painted on its nose. First time I have been lucky enough to see it this year as it hasn't flown much. This was taken during a flypast at Leicester Airport today shutter speed is a little high hence only minimal prop blur.

Fantastic shot of this aircraft in flight.

Well captured. The wingspan going most of the way across the frame is very effective & the angle gives such a good sense of flight!

A real blast from the past, what a great opportunity to see it flying again.
