Pete in Lincs Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Bomber Command Museum of Canada. On September 20th they did a four engine night run on their Lancaster. Guaranteed goosebumps! Quite surreal as it is next to a main road with cars & trucks going past. If this doesn't stir you, you have no soul. And if you've never been to East Kirkby to see 'Jane', I can thoroughly recommend it as modelling therapy. Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Hemsley Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Now if that don't make you to put a Lanc or three on the display shelves, nothing will! Many thanks for posting this. Btw, did you all catch the initial cost for this `vision` as it was announced after engine shutdown? Three individuals paid $513Cdn for the Lanc ... then picked up four RR Merlins for $45Cdn each. Granted, that was a `few`years ago`, but still.... Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooby Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 (edited) Nice find ! thanks... I share with you the question of safety and those cars. O. Cars are fine, the engines are at ground idle. I see it run every year. A person could walk behind it although for safety it isn't done.

Pete in Lincs Posted September 28, 2013 Author Share Posted September 28, 2013 Thanks Guys. Yes, I wasn't really questioning the safety aspect. It was just, as Scooby says, It's quite normal to see this sight, for the townsfolk. But for us, to see it, Wow! And why aren't all those people stopping to watch? Then again, My home town is now Lincoln. Thousands visit the Cathedral, But I haven't. If you live in Blackpool, Where do you go on holiday? Weird lot aren't we?

chacer Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Wow! Fantastic sight & sound. Nothing quite like an unsilenced V12 complete with licks of flame from those stubby exhausts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
