here's few shots of my friend, Bill Gorman, a former Lancaster pilot with 101 squadron, bomber command, whose wish came true today when we visited the Scottish Air Show and Bill was granted access to the Canadian Lanc.
A tremendous bunch of folk were responsible for making this happen, not least John Bisset who we met in the crowd who told us of his son's arrival in the British Lancaster and text to let him know that there was an old comrade waiting to speak to him.
It was like being out with a Hollywood superstar - special access to all areas included - people were stopping us in our tracks to say hello and exchange tales - fabulous.
Anyway, take it away, auld yin . . .
...not bad day out for a 91 year old.
