Lancaster?

Post by pb643 » Sun Jun 02, 2019 6:12 pm

Hi, I have read through the PDA thread and I am unclear on the current situation with the BBMF and specifically the Lanc. As far as I can see the Lancaster hasn't flown at all?

Anybody have any news?

Cosford is just days away, I presume that it would display there, unless there has been a problem?

Regards
Phil

Lancaster has not yet flown, engine tests have been conducted on all four engines in the past week. Its looking doubtful for Cosford, unlikely to get air tests and display practices and PDA for the lanc in 5 days, but I'd be happy to be proven wrong!!
