Here is full coverage of the World's first public display of the BBMF Lancaster and RAF Typhoon "Blackjack" doing a fitting tribute to the 617sqn. "Dambusters" raids of WWII
This is from the Midlands Air Festival 2023 at Ragley Hall.
The Typhoon and Lancaster have done a flypast before (with the 3 BBMF types) and this can be seen on my video "Lancaster After the Fire" • AFTER THE FIRE: THE LANCASTER'S RETUR... on AIRSHOWVISION channel, but this is more comprehensive.
Apart from the special sequence of the two aircraft, there follows a full display of the Typhoon aircraft the now legendary "Blackjack" aircraft, again the first public performance flown by Flt. Lt. Matthew Brighty.
The 2023 RAF Typhoon display features for the very first time on a UK Typhoon jet, a slow roll, which has been mysteriously absent from the British display (running ever since 2005). A very welcome addition indeed!
I was sad to see the trademark negative G pass missing this year, as it was my favourite manoeuver, but there are some nice things here, which I will highlight later.
The finale was weak in this display, but I hope this was due to airspace restrictions and will be dealt with by the time we get to Cleethorpes in 2 weeks the perfect venue for fast jet displays. #phoontime
