The airtest was cancelled today – Lancaster is unserviceable.
From BBMF website.
‘The Lancaster is unserviceable; a fuel **** shut off valve is faulty and this controls the fuel sent to the engine. Currently, our engineers are attempting to resolve the issue – further updates will be posted.’

It is a nice little channel. The team have been working hard. Well done!
Have the problems with the Lancaster been resolved? I’ve noticed a cancellation post on Fighter Control over the weekend. The Lancaster was also missing from the Flying Programme scheduled for the Bank Holiday weekend.

“We have just been informed by the RAF that due to technical problems the Memorial Flight consisting of the Lancaster Bomber, Spitfire & Hurricane will be unable to attend the Fortress Wales. However, arrangements have been made for the Dakota to fly in their absence (Weather permitting).”
