Jeff this may be a little interest to you.. you may of seen news this clip already...

BBC News/Midlands

The Video is based on the old Lady Bower Damn (Been There Twice).It's the old training ground for the British bombers.. that played a huge part in the Dam Busters campaign.

Oh golly, check out that in flight video in full screen and turn the speakers up. Also put on the biggest neck scarf you can find, for good measure!

I was there!!

Me and Mrs Wil had gone to the Peaks riding, and where we usually park in Hathersage was packed out, so we had to go down the road to Hope.
Set off on our ride up Winnats, across the top of Mam Torr and round to Derwent and then Ladybower. Great ride it was, toppoed off with the flypast (which we didnt even know was coming until we got there

)

The sound was tremendous, absolutley shook your body as the Hurricane & Spitfire, then the Lancaster flew over. Really awe inspiring tbh.

Didnt have a camera with us unfortunately, shame really cos we seemed awfully close!!
