NX611

Regarding this extremely lucky aircraft(lucky that the Pantons rescued her) now she has returned to active life merlins roaring performing fast taxi runs,and looking terrific, tail up and almost off ,however, and this is purley speculative should NX611s mainspar be replaced (with luck )and she recieves her C.of A. would the Air Certification Board limit flying hours more than PA474s, or would the RAF take the opportunity to give their charge a thorough overhaul (with no time restrictions ) not withstanding the fact she is meticulously maintained.giving NX611 free reign or is there only room for one flying lancaster in this country,conversley should NX611 remain in her present condition thereby alleviating the risk of an air accident (as befell the Bolinbroke) ,for myself i feel airworthy classic airframes should be in their natural environment flown by (obviously) competent aircrews,however there are some who argue (and quite rightlyto some degree) its better to see classic airframes grounded and “safe”rather than risking all as it were.the same rule applies to classic racing cars to a degree:cool: 😎
