BMF Lancaster

Can anybody tell me when the Lancaster will be flying again? I'm sorry if it has already been posted in another topic, but I can't find any mention anywhere.

Thank you for your reply. I was hoping to see it at Yeovilton, but if not fingers crossed it might get to Fairford.

Got something tracking North west just south of Cambridgeshire on glidernet that appears to have come out of Duxford.

Sound right?

The Lancaster returned to Coningsby about 45 mins ago. As for the something fell off part.

While I haven't looked onthe ARCo Facebook page, but a quote from it on the other forum says nothing fell off.
