Lancaster Flys Again
« 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.

Rumor has it that the Canadian Lancaster will visit the American Airpower Museum on Long Island for their Memorial Day event.  I'm hoping to get over there and make my first Lancaster sighting  :)).
