Last July while walking the dog on the edge of town a Hurricane MkI flew over us, low level.
A jaw dropping experience to say the least

Cool man! I saw a similar sight, but it was at work on Friday. I work downtown Toronto on the top floor of a loft building so I have a nice view of the north. I hear helicopters landing often at Mount Sianai, but when I heard this thunderous approach I knew it was something serious.

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.

It's great seeing the unexpected. I remember watching in disbelief as a lancaster flew over me in East London about 10 years ago.
Thanks for posting- the sound is great!

In Sweden warbirds are pretty rare so I remember looking out of the window from my office once from the 7:th floor out over the ocean seeing a silver thingy going way to fast for a civilian aircraft... It looked like it was below me and when it pulled up I realized it was a Mustang with the sun glittering in the polished wings.... Screamed so the other people at the same meeting jumped out of their chairs Beautiful sight!

I'm still waiting for the Fokker dr 1 that is based closed to where I live to pass my porch in the sunset while having a Friday cocktail
