Alain Gadbois Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Thank you for all those great photos! Useful for Lancs in all scales (I have the Tamiya kit)! 9 hours ago, dennismcc said: Great photos, wish I could "bump" into something like that when I am lost, lucky person that you are !

simon417 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 This Lancaster can taxi. On June 29, they started up all 4 of the engines and it was a divine sound! They are also in the process of restoring to taxi condition, a Mosquito.

Jager Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 (edited) The Canadian Warbird Museum in Hamilton has a Mk.X that flys every Saturday. You can purchase a ride if you are feeling financially flush. No ride for me but just seeing one is pretty cool. https://www.warplane.com Jager P.S. I would like to add that the museum has a virtual reality program that incorporates an actual WW2 British reporters recording of a night bombing mission over Berlin which he flew in a Lancaster and recorded his observations. This should be a 'must do' if you attend the museum. Edited July 11, 2019 by Jager Martinnfb and simon417 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeA Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 (edited) I wonder if that is the Canadian Warbird Museum one that was restored in NZ and shipped over a few years ago. I was at the airshow in NZ when it had its flyover. There was the Lancaster, a Spitfire, a Mustang and a Mosquito all in formation and at low altitude for the flyover. The sound and feel of those Merlins was beyond description! I guess in the war everyone just got used to it. Made the classic jets pale in comparison.

Cheers, Mike I think you may be confusing a couple of things. The Lancaster owned by the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum was restored by them in Hamilton, Ontario in their own hangars and workshops, with help from a number of organizations. It has never been in NZ. It has been to the States, and there was the epic trip to the UK a few years ago, but she generally flies within Canada with a few side trips to the States. Not sure a Lancaster has flown over NZ for a long while. Richard Martinnfb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon417 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Jager, they have the VR bombing raid in Nanton as well. It was incredibly well done. If you go, as Jager says, it's a must do! Martinnfb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Martin, great pictures, and i probably should have turned to your address in my search for interior pictures concerning the post war RCAF resque Lancasters, because i have the HKM kit plus decals to try and create such a lancaster, but would be very anxious to know what was inside these aircraft? Could you be of assistance in this search? HTH Jack Martinnfb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although this is just a guess. R Palimaka and Martinnfb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1 Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Great pictures.. One thing that came to mind was the relatively crude airframe compared to the US B-29 that was developed in generally the same time frame. Certainly adds a bit of class to her!
