Tomorrow's Llangollen flypast by veteran aircraft is cancelled

The veteran Dakota aircraft that was due to make a flypast of Llangollen tomorrow lunchtime (Sunday) will not now be coming after all.

Llangollen-based RAF Padre Rebekah Cannon of the RAF had organised the special  appearance by the World War Two vintage transport aircraft from the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF) for Eisteddfod week when it was due to make two over-flights of the Pavilion.

She had also asked organisers to plot a course over the RAFA Club bowling green on route.

At the time it was announced Padre Cannon did warn that the flight was weather and serviceability dependent.

And this evening she has passed on the news from RAF Coningsby, where the aircraft is based, that the event is off due to the plane involved being unserviceable following a mechanical problem, for which the BBMF has apologised.
