As Cees said… why? The UK already has an airworthy Lancaster which can be seen at most large airshows and all manner of other places at the vast majority of weekends, Just Jane is perfect doing what she already does.

Of course, if the owners decide to fly it, then that’s up to them, but it’s hardly as if the UK has a massive gap in the Lancaster market already

Looks like the Manchester museum of Science and Industry’s Avro triplane, don’t know if it’s flown before but it will do

edit – actually, to correct that, it looks like it’s a second replica built by Manchester Museum (which explains why it looks better than the photos of the other in the museum), and will fly

She looks a lot better now she’s had a good polishing

At least one is in a museum

I’m presuming you mean WW2 bombs?

I dont think you need to go to those lengths to get another flight. It was my mode of transport down to Bolt Head and back and I must be getting old (or fatter!) as it was a bit of a squeeze getting in. I tried an Autocar for size two weeks ago and somehow didnt fit. I blame my diet of real ale. No mention of pies is required please!!!

Haha, still haven’t had a go in an Autocar…. yet!

I’ve just noticed that the date for Middle Wallop is two days from my 21st Birthday, so should be a good weekend

Nice – I wonder if Richard will let me go in the Mk III again if I get some jungle greens and a beret with Royal Artillery cap badge!

Wow, looks extremely realistic, if I didn’t know i’d say it was the real thing
