mikeew Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 The BBC had a film crew at RAF Coningsby for the first flight of the Lancaster since her winter refurbishment and repaint. It was to mark the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight. Click the link and then there is a 5:50 min film available to watch online - Superb stuff! http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/lincolnshire/6599023.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Great and nice to see the grand old lady back in the air again, we don't have the Leuchars airshow this year in Scotland so I don't know if I will manage to see her in the flesh Graham.

GT40Graham Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Superb! Went to Coningsby a couple of years ago, well worth a visit. And of course, East Kirkby is just down the road. Regards, Graham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard E Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 There's a very good article in this year's RAF Yearbook about its restoration and repainting. Looks like it's going to be flying for many years to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
