Lovely, lovely Lanc.

I had my picture taken with 'Picadilly Lily' from the TV series 12 O'Clock High, back when I was ten or so. I've seen lots of B-17s and a couple of B-24s, but never got that close to a Lancaster.

Thanks for the pictures.

The line to get inside the Lanc was quite long. I asked my girls if they were interested in getting in but they declined. She looks menacing I guess. Beautiful plane.

The Corsair Marines Dream...pilots who did fly the Corsair signed one of the landing gear covers. Kind of cool:

Nice pics!

Thanks for sharing.
Did you see the Lancaster fly?
To hear those four Rolls-Royce Merlins would have been pretty awesome.

To bad you didn't have a chance to go in.

I got to go inside the one at the RAF Museum in Hendon(north of London) with a group I was with back in 1991. I consider it a highlight of my life. We also went in the B-17 there as well. The difference in roominess inside was startling.

It is unfortunate I did not get to hear her engines come to life. She was parked on the tarmac for people to see the insides. Even so, it as great to see the Lanc in person. I have never seen one. She is quite beautiful and I like her lines.

Those Planes and Vehicles are Treasures teeming with History.

I hope they will last forever.

If only they could talk.
