Superb day all round. Well done to the Canadians who helped putting on a great show,very friendly and helpful. The sound of four merlins in full song has to be one of the best sounds in the world🙂

Thanks for the photos Martyn. It would be great to be there and see them together. I didn't realize the memorial and stature were there. Here's the website to its home museum at warplane.com Come on over to visit and for CDN$2,500.00 you can take a 60 minute ride on it! 🙂

OK. It won't post the full address. It is the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum in Hamilton, Ontario if people want to Google it.

Thanks Alan. I've already been on the website over here to get updates on the tour. Don't know if your aware but Vera's had a major engine problem and is still at Durham Tees Valley. Apparently there going to replace it with a Rolls Royce Merlin loaned by the BBMF. I've just gone on the Facebook link where they've set up a donations page to help with the repairs. Hopefully she will be up and running soon with 3 Packard and 1 Rolls Royce Merlin.

Marty, thank you very much for posting the interesting photos. I have seen a Lancaster at the RAF Museum in Cosford, really a big bird!

Hi Christian, it is and it's something special to see it roar overhead at less than 100 feet 🙂

Hi Martyn. I had not heard about the engine problem. I hope they can repair it. It's a shame to make the trip across the Atlantic and then be held up by an engine. I will check out the Facebook page.

Really glad to hear Vera's returned home safe to Canada today. Well done to all who made the tour to the UK happen, you should be very proud 🙂 It's been a massive event in the UK,can't wait for the DVD to come out. Apparently some decals have been released with the markings for Vera,Thumper and Just Jane, I feel a few Lanc models in the pipeline.
