Or what about Duxford’s Lanc?

Wow thats a fantastic replica… the worn looking paint makes it look almost original ;). Nice find.

Thanks Wyvernfan.
AFAIK she won’t be made to run, RR had a squint at the engine and basically said ‘don’t do it’. That’s what I was told anyway. Electrics work though, and yes she’s had a repaint. Put a pic up now she’s out and easier to photograph, was awkward when I last went, as she was well hemmed in in the hangar.

Oh ******, thats a shame. Obviously the years of standing outside uncovered at Sandtoft have taken their toll. Never quite knew why she was grounded after the 1988 airshow season. Owner Neil Moffatt must of had his reasons i guess. But at least, hopefully, we will have XL500 on the airshow circuit at some stage to look forward to.
Anyway judging by the pic its hats off to the YAM for looking after her now.

Nice pics B2. I notice that the front prop is back on the Gannet AEW.3, and that she looks to have had a repaint. Do you know if YAM are any further forward in getting her back into ground running condition as was originally planned?
