Lancaster PA474 home to Conningsby ( but lands on three engines…)

The long stay at DX on maintenance, and then waiting for a good westerly wind,  finally ended today.

It declared an emergency, and landed with one engine shut down. Now safely tucked up in hangar.
According to FR24, it was doing 520mph on three engines, so they must have dome something right during the overhaul !

She overflew me North West of Cambridge and i can assure you it was a sedate graceful flight , at that point on 4 engines.
