Flying overhead

We get a lot of air traffic of all sorts, but recently they've been coming in pairs. There were two microlights flying overhead although the camera could only manage to find them one at a time (!) a pair of hot air balloons, a pair of bi-planes and a pair of Lancaster bombers. I tried to photograph the latter but by the time I grabbed the camera they were disappearing into the the mist.

According to the BBC website:
The last two airworthy Lancaster bombers in the world have flown over the Derwent Reservoir, in a tribute to the men who practised the Dambusters raid there.The Lancasters, normally based in Canada and Lincolnshire, passed Derwent Dam in Derbyshire three times on their way back to RAF Coningsby from Southport Air Show.
