We tried to think of ten lanc/shacks too….

BBMF
Just Jane
Weeks
Canadian Lanc (maybe x2….)
Lanc in Oz / NZ (if the spars and the interest are there, why not?…)
South African Shack
AA Shack (Mr. McHenry)
Shack at Coventry

there’s 8 or nine possibles…. something about costs being cheaper for a limited production run of minimum 10…

Isnt there a lanc being restored in France somewhere in Aeronavale colours?

My earliest memory is of the BBMF using my house as a holding point for the Blackpool Airshow circa 1980 and driving my mum nuts constantly running through the house to look at the Lanc, then the following year my dad taking me to the Finningley Airshow

pretty sure it is fake, if you look at the glare on the rear fuselages, its Exactly the same, all shapes on it etc, correct me if im wrong but there would be differences? no?

I agree, also if you look carefully the two fuselages have a slight ‘toe out’ at the noses surely the would be parallel? The props look a bit too close together too. that close together they would certainly hit each other.

I spotted at Bae Warton a Ford Escort N 302 EFA outside building 302 where they build the then EFA now Typhoon.

The area around the control tower and the T2s has been reworked since the post war years. I wouldn’t let the absence of a circular dispersal there influence your judgement. They are very transient things.

I spent a good deal of time flying out of Woodvale with 10AEF in the eighties and from the ir pretty much most of the dispersal hard standings were still there albeit with one or two a bit over grown. The area around Woodvale is pretty flat so wouldnt make that much of an impression in the background

Last time I drove past this the prop was missing off it. and it didnt look in the best of health.

Can anyone give me another example when such a promising project has been virtually scrapped overnight? where all the jigs for building said aircraft, have been cut up and the drawings destroyed.

The North American XB70 Valkyrie first flew in September 1964 but was cancelled after a fatal collision with an F104 in June 1966, with some models cancelled while under costruction and some as early as 1959. only one survives at USAFM Dayton, Ohio.
