B42? New one on me TBH. B52 would have been some treat, if that's what it was. And no pics

I'm no expert but that looks like a Dakota. Superb aircraft.

We used to get the city of Lincoln flight around here quite often. Two Spitfires and a Lancaster. Now that really was an aural treat.

Just been watching a few vids of the Spit & Lanc, for example

none get that low WOOWOOWOOWOOWOOWOOWOOWOO like when you actually see them. Must be the percussion of the air or something. Getting all misty eyed here...........

Yeah it's a Dakota. When I were a lad I used to live on the flight path into Northolt airport. I can remember Daks flying so low over my house you felt you could reach up and touch them. In fact a lad at my school used to be able to throw a tennis ball up and actually hit them they were that low!!
