Troffa Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 The Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum have produced a film that follows their Lancaster's historic visit to the UK in the summer of 2014 and documents it's epic trans-Atlantic journey as well as it's participation with the BBMF's Lancaster at various UK airshows. The film is getting a limited theatrical release, and will be released on blu-ray at the end of the year. Having been lucky enough to see the pair at Dawlish last year I cant wait to see the whole story! Don't miss the trailer at the bottom of the page, I must have got something in my eye whilst I was watching it... http://www.warplane.com/reunion-of-giants.aspx 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-32 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 That's going to be awesome. I have the Avro Sisters DVD which is great, but this looks even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maudesman Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 A lump in my throat! I was lucky enough to see them both at Waddington last year with the Vulcan..... Words cannot describe the feeling, the noise and smell of that day! Just glad i have that moment to remember.............. Long live the Lancaster......

HP42 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Brilliant trailer, I might even invest in a blue-ray player for this! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phone Phixer Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Just back from watching this at a cinema in Calgary. Very good documentary, well worth seeing. They concentrate most of the time on the journey over and the work up with the BBMF. Short glimpses of the airshows after that. Surprisingly short coverage of the Derwent dam flypast and the formation with the Vulcan. I will definitely be ordering this on DVD. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Delta 210 Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Thanks for that. I have pre-ordered mine from the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre, who according to the Canadizn Warplane Heritage Museum are the exclusive UK distributor. http://www.lincsaviation.co.uk/store/x-mas-presents-ideas/for-him/reunion-of-giants.htm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Delta 210 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Received my copy on Saturday and watched it on Sunday. I'm not normally given to outpourings of emotion, but I had to fight back the tears on a couple of occasions... Highly recommended. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessica Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 For those of us on this side of the Atlantic, the DVD (or Blu-ray disc) is available directly from the museum's website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonny Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Just orderd mine! I still cannot forget the emotion I and 1000s of others felt when the 2 Lancasters came into view at Duxford last year. It was really palpable. Then again, watching Flightradar24 as Vera flew north up the UK before heading out over the Atlantic on the way home to Canada.. INCREDIBLE!

Jonny Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 I ordered my copy 1st December and it arrived today. I've just finished watching it for the first time. It really is super. Quite emotional, too, especially the arrival at RAF Coningsby - first the heavy rain that stopped the planned 'escort' of the Red Arrows and BBMF's PA474 and a Spitfire & Hurricane meeting VR-A, then at the last minute the weather clearing to reveal Coningsby's runway dead ahead, all lights blazing to welcome the Candians 'in' A really good DVD that I shall get a lot of pleasure from in the future. If you can, buy it, well worth the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
