DONCASTER SET FOR HISTORIC FLY-PAST FOR ARMED FORCES DAY Doncaster is set to be treated to a fly past by the historic Lancaster Bomber on Saturday 24 June, to celebrate Armed Forces Day in the town. The Lancaster, one of the most famous military planes in the world, will fly over Doncaster town centre on Armed Forces Day as people from across the borough gather together to honour the servicemen and
women of the armed forces. A Lancaster Bomber hasn’t been spotted over Doncaster in six years, so the fly past on the 24 June will provide an extremely rare chance to see one over the streets of our town. The plane that will be flying over Doncaster is the only airworthy Bomber in the UK, and is known as ‘Thumper’. Thumper will follow up St
Sepulchre Gate in the town centre towards Doncaster Market, where she will turn right towards the High Street, turning right again past the Mansion House and over Clock Corner before flying out of Doncaster borough. Before the fly past, there will be a march of servicemen and women from Sir Nigel Gresley square at 11am in to town, finishing outside the
front of the Frenchgate Centre. The fly past will then follow at approximately 12:35pm, and large crowds are expected to gather throughout the town centre for the event. Debbie JohnLewis, Interim Assistant Director of Communities, said: “This is a truly wonderful opportunity for Doncaster – to have one of the most famous and well-loved
aircraft on earth flying over our town for Armed Forces Day is a complete honour. We are excited to welcome people from far and wide for this chance to catch a rare glimpse of the famous Lancaster in flight, and are sure that it will be a fitting way to honour the Armed Forces who have given so much to protect our freedom.”
