Administrators Share Posted August 4, 2014 Given the choice between destroying the aircraft and baling out safely or crashing due to a u/c failure and killing myself in the process, I know what I'd be doing!

PapaBear Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Brilliant !!!! it was great when we saw two Lancs at East Kirkby back in 2011 but three thats just awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DD_Bongodriver Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Apparently the East Kirkby Lanc is being restored to flying condition and a second Lanc in Canada too........4 airworthy Lancs!!!! there are something like 17 more or less complete Lancs in the world.

2. Administrators Jabo Posted September 10, 2014 2. Administrators Share Posted September 10, 2014 Just Jane - the East Kirkby Lanc is getting pretty close to airworthy I think- of course in this context 'pretty close' probably means another 20 years or so.

BluBear Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 I believe it's all about timing and money of course. The first step was the airworthy merlins, which they now have a stock of (5 I think). They've been doing large sections of overhaul during the winter maintenances, with the next major hurdle requiring a full strip down. The trouble with that is it will probably spend a year not bringing in the revenue taxiing and offering rides. Slowly slowly catch a monkey as they say.
