One for the BBMF &Avro Lancaster fans.

I appreciate this isn't in everyone's interest, but for those that are, this is fantastic news.

 

There are only 2 of the legendary Avro Lancasters left airworthy in the world. We in the UK are fortunate to have one as part of the BBMF and the other is in Canada. Except for a month this summer, the Canadian Lanc will be on our shores. :yahoo:

 

I know (from our Cosford meet last year), that a few of you guys have an interest in historic aircraft and I figured the news (and once in a lifetime opportunity) that the 2 surviving Lanc's can be seen together was too good not to share :thumbs:

A friend from work posted this up last week.

He worked out it would be cheaper to fly to canada, have a couple of weeks holiday with an hours flight onboard for the same price they want to charge for a 30 minute flight over here.

 

He had a ride in one they are restoring last year, it was only a tail down run on the runway but he said it was an amazing experience.

 

Will be amazing to see them in formation though :thumbs:
