The famous Lancaster Bomber is set to fly across the north of England this weekend...including a neighbouring county to Northamptonshire.
The plane will be flying to mark the anniversary of the Dambusters raids during the Second World War.
It will take place on Saturday, May 14, and Sunday, May 15. The iconic event is 80 years after the bomb raids on Germany.
One of the nearest places to travel to from Northamptonshire is Melton Mowbray in Leicestershire, which is just over an hour away...close enough to witness the iconic event. The flypast is also visiting other nearby counties.
The Dambusters raids, also known as Operation Chastise, were enforced on the evening of May 16 and 17, 1943 by 617 Squadron RAF Bomber Command, by using special ‘bouncing bombs’.

A Lancaster bomber flies over Ladybower reservoir in the Derbyshire Peak District to mark the 70th anniversary of the World War II Dambusters mission on in Derwent, England. Ladybower and Derwent reservoirs were used by the RAF's 617 Squadron in 1943 to test Sir Barnes Wallis' bouncing bomb before their mission to destroy dams in Germany's Ruhr Valley. This was taken to marks the 70th anniversary of the famous Dambuster mission and will be watched by veterans from the original campaign.

A British World War II Lancaster bomber performed a flypast Thursday over a reservoir used for practice runs by the legendary "Dambusters" airmen to mark 70 years since their daring raid over Nazi Germany's industrial heartland. The four-engined aircraft was joined by two Spitfires and two modern-day Tornado jets as they swept over the Derwent Reservoir in Derbyshire, northern England, where the Royal Air Force trialled the 'bouncing bomb'.
