INCREDIBLE footage shot from the cockpit of an iconic Lancaster bomber while it flies over Windermere has been published.
The video has been published on the official Battle of Britain Memorial Flight's Facebook page and shows the bomber flying over Windermere on Sunday on its way to Scotland.
The RAF describes the Avro Lancaster as the most famous and successful RAF heavy bomber of World War Two. It is a legend that lives on today and the contribution made by the aircraft and its crews to the freedom of our nation will, hopefully, never be forgotten.
The prototype Lancaster took to the air for its first flight from Woodford, Manchester, on 9th January 1941; the first production Lancaster flew later that year on 31st October.
The Royal Air Force Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (RAFBBMF) is part of the Royal Air Force No 1 Group and operates from RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire.
The aircraft are regularly seen at events commemorating World War II, upon British State occasions, notably the Trooping the Colour celebrating Queen Elizabeth II's birthday and at air displays throughout the United Kingdom and Europe.
The video can be viewed below.
