Title: Lancaster Flys Again
Post by: mfg495 on April 27, 2007, 04:12:23 PM: One of the world's last surviving Lancaster bombers has taken to the skies to mark 50 years of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight.

The aircraft, taking part in a flypast at RAF Coningsby, Lincolnshire, is one of only two airworthy Lancasters.

More than 7,000 Lancasters were built during the 1940s and played a major part during World War II.
