Current bid C$40,000 with 4 days to go! And not up to the reserve bid either. Wow!

Hi Alex,
I think the Lanc is only visiting for a short time, but heard a few days ago that it should be displaying with the RAF Lanc at the IMPS Combined Ops event at Headcorn aerodrome in Kent.
Hi Richard, I heard it was coming over for one month (?), but just rumours... I guess we'll know in a few weeks as plans are probably not finalised and display dates can change due to weather conditions etc. I was surprised to hear the RAF Lanc was flying over Holland a few days ago, sadly not in our area this time.

Hi Alex,

With 3 days to go it's now at Cdn$50,000. with 8 bids and it would appear the reserve has been met.

If you go on the actual listing and scroll down to the bottom the CWH has answered some of the questions raised.

Brian

Thanks Brian; I hadn't noticed the comments below the listing before.

I just noticed on the HMVF forum that part of the twin Lanc Schedule has been published:

Default Follow up posting....

Meant to post this a while ago, but it turns out that part of the crew are from my home town. Unfortunately Terry/Alex....I don't know the the gentlemen or else I would have made an inquiry about filming the entire trip for a free ride. Ah well......enjoy the article for some extra info on the flight. Robert
