Our Lancaster Had a fantastic weekend run last weekend including a night run on the friday. Lots of post war and wartime Lanc veterans in attendance and the night run was especially exciting with the blue flames from number 4 engine’s exhaust visible for a half mile away!

Here’s a shot I took of Clagary’s Lanc when I was last there from the UK in 2005. The turrets were inside the hangar.

Cool – well done.

Well done indeed. Though I’m UK based I’ve been over to your museum a few times and always been impressed with the enthusiasm and friendliness of all the folk involved and the excellent way you look after and display all the exhibits. When you consider the MASSIVE effort that went into getting the Lanc to its present location it is wonderful to see she’s now a living exhibit. Keep up the good work.

It’s made my day.
Another tremendous effort and worthwhile accomplishment from Canadians in practically supporting a concrete example of our joint WWII aviation history.
