    We should all do our bit to celebrate this day. The last flyover I
    watched was the Last Flight of the Vulcan, it flew directly overhead. Magnificent.

    When are they flying over Dundee - or indeed any part of Scotland?

    I was expecting a bit wider coverage of the UK ...

    Well, it is a flyover over Buckingham Palace, which I believe is in
    London, not Scotland.

    They don't need to fly over Scotland when they are en route from
    Norfolk to London.

    The last one I saw got me a photo I doubt I could replicate ever.

    A couple of Lancasters flying over the house.

    They do have a fair-sized wingspan - but you may be asking rather too
    much of an elderly aircraft.
