The exact time the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight's Lancaster bomber will fly over Peterborough on Saturday

One of Britain’s most iconic aeroplanes will be making a flying visit to Peterborough this weekend.

The Avro Lancaster was one of the key features of the RAF during the Second World War.

Sadly, decades after the war ended very few remain airworthy – so seeing and hearing the magnificent machine flying is a rare treat.

Residents in Peterborough will have a chance to experience that this weekend, when the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Lancaster will be flying over the city.
