Hi all,
Last year I had been in contact with someone in Canada who had a large cache of Lancaster parts available (at a price, Peter you know about this as well). At some time I heard from this person that he sold all the parts to a buyer in the UK. After some stiff asking of questions he mentioned that the whole lot had been sold to Peter Monk (of Spitfire ownership fame) and that these parts were supposedly to be used in exchange deals for Spitfire parts. Since then the trail has gone cold. Does anyone know if the parts were indeed sold to the UK and where are they now?
Cheers

Mmmm North Yorkshire sounds very plausible as apart from Peter Monk also the name of Ken Ward was mentioned. The plot thickens?

North Yorkshire is the rumoured location, didnt know Peter Monk was involved? Must be a complicated swapsie?
I also understand that to be the case and seem to remember hearing the Spit connection was needed to oil the wheels.

Didnt know where they went to only to uk and yes as far as I know it has all gone over the pond. Damn shame as there was some excellent spares that could have helped the likes of fm104
