Hope to make it there on the 12th or 19th this month….

I know I am a little off topic but it is sorta related to heavy British bomber types….

Here is a question for anyone regarding wheels and tyres for the four engined British types…

Do the Lancaster, Lincoln and Shackleton all use the same size wheels and tires?

The tires and the wheels to be used on the Trenton Halifax…where did they come from?

How many flyers are left in the world? Civilian and Military?

I wish I could help out the lads at Brunty but the commute “Ottawa to Brunty” would be a challenge 😉

You mentioned that you had three different types of Avon engines on her…are they different Mk’s and any idea how she came to have this setup?

The Comet at Brunty is a pretty low hour airframe 8,281hrs but part of the reason to stop flying her was that she had a major overhaul pending….I read that she was subject to higher stress loads that your average Comet..in that many of her hours were low altitude etc…

First flight 09/26/63
Last flight 10/30/97
