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.

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

Default Reunion of Giants

And the movie, 'Reunion of Giants' was stunning, and well beyond what was expected. Congratulations Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum.
