Through Sunday and inch or two inches of rain, gales are possible

Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North.

Arriving in Lincolnshire after a transatlantic flight `

the world's only airworthy Lancasters are brought together.

But there was disappointment here at RAF Coningsby where heavy rain and

thunder storms meant their historic flight together had to be cancelled.

More than half an inch of rain in less than an hour ` flash floods

The worst of the bad weather is over for now, but more storms are

The last minute goal that kept Hull City's European dream alive.

As unique to the area as the Humber Bridge and white phone boxes,

but is Chip Spice one of Hull's best kept secrets?

It was supposed to be a unique moment in aviation history,

but today thunderstorms and heavy rain meant the flight

of two Lancaster bombers over Lincolnshire had to be cancelled.

Thousands of people had turned out to see the world's last two

A flypast over Lincoln cathedral accompanied by

the Red Arrows had been planned, but the weather put a stop to all that.

Gemma Dawson has spent the day at RAF Coningsby where

Gemma, how much of a disappointment has this been?

The Canadian Lancaster has travelled 3700 miles. But with 100 miles to go

a thunderstorm hit preventing the fly`past taking place. But many

people were happy to sleep off of the Lancasters together even if it

was just on the tarmac. `` were happy to witness the Tang Castor ``

witness the Lancaster together. Sometimes on the way to read you

could see at the Lancaster is underneath you.

To commemorate the wartime efforts and the lives lost the Canadian

Lancaster is set off for Lincolnshire. They stopped in a

slant last night. Back in Lincolnshire crowds had gathered

from early this morning. We were on our way to a wedding and we heard

about this. To see one is fantastic, to see two is out of this world. It

is once in a lifetime. At 11 o'clock the Lancaster was taken into

position. There have been false starts over the years to try to get

both aircraft together. Finally it has come together. But it was not to

be. The weather turned. EV Asian enthusiasts waited for news. ``

Aviation enthusiasts waited for news. We were waiting for so long.

40 minutes late their Canadian aircraft arrived. It is a momentous

day to have these aircraft together. I am disappointed that they have not

been able to fly together. But it is a very exciting day. It would have

been nice to see them fly together. But I am happy enough. The aircraft

were finally united on the runway. The historic flight is still to

come. The Canadian Lancaster needs to be

serviced after its long journey. The aircraft are now due to fly together

next week. There will be a number of events

where both aircraft will appeared together.

So there are still plenty of opportunities to see the aircraft

flying together. With three quarters of an inch

of rain falling in an hour it wasn't just today's historic fly

past which was affected. Flash flooding has caused damage to

homes and businesses in several places with Louth being

the worst affected. Our reporter Jill Archbold has spent

the afternoon there A torrential downpour that didn't

last more than half an hour which overwhelmed this Lincolnshire

market town. The rain described

by those living here as biblical. It's just flooded from three

different directions. It was coming in under The Doors.

One street in Eastgate looked more like a river.

Luckily for Michael O'Hara sandbags saved his home ` his garden taking

It is fair rather than anything else that that will get worse and come

into the house. What can you do? Contractors in Louth working

for Anglian Water rushed with They saw what was happening to us

and came to our assistance. We were within two inches of it coming into

the house. There is going to be further rainfall but we hope it will

not be on the same scale as earlier on. But we have taken the

opportunity to do further planning. Water poured through the ceiling

at this sewing shop ` and business owner Valarie rushed to

save wedding dresses. I have a dress that cost a lot of

money. It cannot be replaced. With more rain forecast `

emergency services in Louth watch closely to see if their help will be

needed once more. Mark Welsh is from

Lincolnshire County Council. I asked him what problems

the rain had caused flooding. In years gone by we would

down? not `` either councils letting as

down? Fire and Rescue have been there

through the day. This sort of rainfall, where ever it would fall

would cause a problem. One of the water companies has said this will

be the norm for the future. Have you got the resources to cope? Some

people see the likelihood of summer five times as likely. I think that

is true. In terms of resources we are prepared. There was some heavy

rain today for a short period of time and then we see those pictures.

Do you have the resources to cope? Yes we have. Had that rain fallen

somewhere else it would have caused the same problem. What advice do you

have for those affected today, and also over the weekend? I am very

sorry for anybody that has been flooded. We will be investigating

that. Over the weekend, heavy rainfall tonight, Sunday, a storm

coming through. Be prepared. Check the Environment Agency for online.

Check the net office warnings. Have you been affected

by the flooding today? A man accused of murdering

a Bridlington guest house owner John Heald appeared at

Hull Crown Court Bei Carter died at the

Morayland Guest House on He also faces ten separate charges

of rape in South Yorkshire. Health officials trying to trace

the source of a Legionnaires disease outbreak say four people

recovering from the disease had all visited Freeman Street in Grimsby

prior to being ill. The source of the infection

hasn't yet been identified. Doctors? surgeries will stay

on alert for another two weeks A man has been charged

after a laser`like beam was shone at a police helicopter in

North East Lincolnshire. Simon Pearson who's 40 and from

St Nicolas Drive in Grimsby, has been charged under the

Air Navigation Order. He was arrested in the early

hours of yesterday morning. The first female commander

of a Royal Navy warship, who was born and raised

in Lincolnshire, has been removed from her post after claims she had

an affair with another officer. Commander Sarah West from Grimsby

took charge of HMS Portland in May 2012,

but left her vessel last month. A Royal Navy spokesman said that

she would be assigned a new role. That's the message

from business leaders who fear that visitors won?t come to the town this

weekend because of the traffic chaos Part

of the motorway was reopened today after the Highways Agency admitted

it was wrong to shut the eastbound More from our

Political Editor Tim Iredale. Throughout the day yesterday

national radio stations warned of the problems caused by the closure

of this section of the M180. Although only one lane eastbound

reopened today traffic was moving. And that meant

a less stressful journey for drivers Where have you come from? What was

the motorway like? Not too bad. But some Cleethorpes business owners

fear this week's traffic chaos in North Lincolnshire will deter

many weekend visitors. The gentleman said he would give

himself the eight of ten for the destruction. I would give him too.

On behalf of of the traders, please, it is a storm in a teacup.

The Highways Agency admit they got it wrong by closing the whole

North East Lincolnshire to avoid a repeat performance.

The traders and the tourist industry are outraged. These problems can

easily be avoided. The message is that we are open for business. The

agency has promised to try and put alternative traffic arrangements in

place. Of course if you are heading to

the seaside this weekend other modes Tim Iredale, BBC Look North,

Cleethorpes. Thanks to everyone who got

in touch about the roadworks taking faced the axe in the World War I.

He showed a picture last night of me in Turkey. There is a picture of me

in France. The director says it is dull.

Maybe they cannot understand what you are seeing.

Still some very heavy showers around. Still the potential for a

heavy downforce over the next few hours. After a fine day tomorrow

there is this area of low pressure from the South. Sunday night into

Monday, strong winds as well. Further thunderstorms spreading

northwards. It will be a dry ends to the night. Temperatures will fall

back to 13 Celsius. Tomorrow, a much quieter day. The clothes will be

broken. There will be sunny spells through the morning. `` the clouds

will be broken. On Sunday heavy rain will spread out from the side. Very

windy overnights, Sunday into Monday.

In Edwardian times, Bridlington offered elegant

escapism, and the jewel in its entertainment crown was the Spa.

But when war broke out 100 years ago, the venue's star

faced being axed because everyone thought he was German.

Jo Makel has been looking at how even the world

of entertainment couldn't escape the realities of war.

He would perform to the Royal Family. He was eight mast for people

visiting the seaside. `` he was an essential for people visiting the

seaside. But Kandt's future at the Spa was

at risk. The outbreak of war meant

attitudes were changing. Seaside fun was

about to get serious. For one thing the Government wanted

everyone to boycott German goods. But the worry about German

influences put the spotlight He was from a Russian immigrant

family, called Kantovich and had But his adopted name ` Herr Kandt `

was a problem. It was a disaster to be branded as a

foreigner, especially if you were in military uniform. There was a

feeling in favour of him in the town because of commercial reasons.

Loyalty to King and country crashed against commercial success. Energy

and the council decided to keep him. He was on a new wartime contract

which could be changed at any time. A lot of effort was made.

You may not have heard of chips ice. We went to find out by chip spice is

such a hit. It is a phenomenon. Its appeal seems

to be spreading. I am sending it to my son who emigrated to Australia.

It is good to. This person is one of those credited with starting the

clays. We saw products of the same style in America. That puts the idea

into our heads. It has inspired a line of clothing. They sold out

straightaway. And now this entrepreneur has brought out his own

brand. Who better to explain what it is? You can put chilly or carry on

your chips. It is healthy. But in Lincolnshire at no one has heard of

it. Have you ever heard of it? No. It is not something we have been

asked for. It has not spread over the bridge

yet, but one day Lincolnshire could be as mad on chip spice.

Here is a recap of the headlines. America attacks Islamist militants

in Iraq launching an air strike. And the last to hear worthy

Lancaster bombers are brought together in Lincolnshire.

And the weather bash big easy along the coast. Top temperature 22

Celsius. We were talking about the flooding

that has happened today in Lincolnshire.

And one viewer has said he is fed up hearing how the agencies are working

hard and still the floods occur. Many of the messages seeing a

similar thing. Another message says, it is always

the same places where it flat and they want to build new homes where

it floods. Another message says, too many

houses are being built without sufficient infrastructure such as

drains. And another message says, as houses

were not squashed into small pleasers without renewing the drains

then they would not be an overflow of the drains.

Buying queue for all the messages. `` thank you. Goodbye.

Gaza has captured the world's attention.

Military conflict has been taking a devastating toll on a
