It was a great experience, one that i will never forget.
I can't imagine what our bomber command boys went through flying those kites night in night out, winter or summer. I know it was really cold the evening i went up on it and it was only an hours flight.

You lucky lucky lucky..... Awesome.
Had the chance of a flight in the CWH Lanc at the GOML back in Sept last year.....a little voice in my heart said 'YES YES YES'....then an even bigger voice in my cheque book said 'NO WAY, NO WAY' !
The only other option or chance for us mere mortals here in the UK have, is to blag a taxi ride in 'Just Jane'. Not quite the same but something on my list of things to do.
