Lancaster At Thameside Aviation Museum

Thanks colin. For a 24 year old kit she looks pretty good. I will try looking for the pic of the flyable lancaster that was built by a local guy here that has a 8 or 10 ffot wingspan. The last I heard about this one was that he had taxid it but had not flown it as it has taken him 20+ years to build and he was a bit leery to fly it in case anything happened. Apparently the kit is so close to the real thing that when he built the aircraft it had the same problem with the elevators that the prototype did!!

Yes Peter she has flown, but not for many years and I do not think it would be good to try now as the old girl is 24 years old.

It took two people to fly here, one looked after the flying controlls and two engines, the other looked after the flaps at two outer engins i think.

we plan to suspend her in the reception area of the museum this will happen before christmas we hope and I will post more pictures of that at the time, we have one of the JU87s models from the BoB film in there now which will be re-painted and hung in our battle of britain display area along with the HE111 from the film.

colin.
