If you want to go to the other extreme of emotions, search YouTube for B-29 frozen in time. It's nearly an hour of video, and only the first 50 minutes or so are enjoyable. After that comes the sad bit. Some aviation enthusiasts found a B29 in a remote and snowy location, got it ready to fly out, then the APU broke free from it's mounting while taxiing, and the whole aircraft burnt to the ground/snow. Made me feel sick watching the disaster.

If anyone is interested, The Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum has come out with a documentary on the voyage of VERA to England.
See the link for further details. http://www.warplane.com/reunion-of-giants.aspx

hopefully we will see more than 1 Lanc in the air over Canada in the future with the Windsor Lanc under restoration and the Edmundston Lanc being sold out west and planned to be moved this summer , this being in very good condition and also a veteran with missions over Germany, spoke with a old boy at the airport there and he told me up until about 6-7 years ago the engines were run up every summer, lets hope,

Had the chance to be up close to V-Vera twice, at CWH Swing Out to Victory dance. Gives shivers to just touch it. With the swing band playing in front of her in the hanger it was like a time warp.

Hi Mike
I know exactly what you mean. I had a similar experience when I saw my first ever flying spitfire at Duxford and when it taxied over to the fence I got goose bumps just being there and being able to touch it. I will never forget it.  Cheers Tony
