Two! In one place!

Yes folks, the kind people of the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum are planning to send over their airworthy Lancaster to join the BBMF's for a series of events.

The only two airworthy Lancasters in the world (until Just Jane gets up there!), and this one is doing pleasure flights from my local airport (for between £3.5k - £5), see their website for details, Jim.

Only £3.5k if you don't want the cockpit. Prolly cheaper to fly to Canada and fly it there.

Right. Humberside it is.

BRB, robbing some banks.

Two Lancs together should be awesome! I've seen a diamond formation of four B-17s, but that was a long time ago.
