Iconic bomber set for fly-past on Carnival Day
FAMILIES in Cheadle will be in for a special treat when the last airworthy Lancaster bomber in the UK flies over the town on Carnival Day.
Organisers of the event have confirmed the iconic plane will perform a fly-past above Tean Road Recreation Ground on Saturday, July 7.

Tim Cliffe, chairman of the carnival committee, said: “We had news last week that the Lancaster will be doing a fly-past of the carnival site.
