There is only one thing worse than being Gosho, and that is not being Gosho Started conversation Aug 13, 2014
But I would have given my eye teeth to have been here today, or at one of the events lined up for the coming month http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-lincolnshire-28756779
I've seen a Lancaster fly, and more than once. Whenever there was a flypast over some event in central London, the planes would gather and circle over Walthamstow Marsh before getting into formation and heading in. I lived about a ten minute walk from there, and the blue plaque that marks the spot where a certain A.V. Roe made the first flight in Britain in an all-British aeroplane, and whose company, Avro, went on to produce the Lancaster bomber. So whenever I heard there was going to be a flypast I'd take a walk down to the marsh and stare in wonder, but mostly I'd just listen.
I've also seen one at actual flypasts and at various other times too, and I've seen a Lancaster and Spitfire/Hurricane flight, but I've never seen two Lancasters together The sound of those eight Rolls Royce Merlin engines, a sound which the BBC person who filmed that clip utterly failed to capture properly, must have been something very special

There's an annual air show at nearby Ellington Field. While I see the planes do flyovers around the area before and during the show, I've never actually gone to the show. There is also an air museum on Galveston that I haven't gone to. They feature many WWII era planes that feature in the Ellington air show. I don't know how many British planes they might have, they're bound to have a few. I know they have a few Japanese Zeros that feature in the show.
When I read your post earlier, I got a bit of a syntax error that led me to ask this question...
So, if Spanish Fly makes one horny, what does Lancaster Fly make one?

It gives you an irresistible urge for red roses and black pudding and learning the Lancashire martial art of ecky thump

And an innate dislike of anything Yorkshire-related.
