I plaster myself to the window and see a Lancaster flanked by a P-51 (with drop tanks) a Hurricane and a B-25 with D-Day stripes on it. The Lanc was center, the fighters to either side nice and close. The B-25 was trailing a bit somewhat out of formation. Wish I had of grabbed my iphone in time, but I didn't want to miss it with my real eyes.

No idea what they were doing here, there's a Lancaster that flies out of Hamilton at the Canadian aviation museum, but doesn't explain the presence of the other planes.

Thanks for posting mate,

Perhaps something to do with the upcoming Hamilton Airshow? Dunno, just a guess.
