Default Lancaster KB882 moving again - March 23, 2024 CBC News update

Retired Second World War bomber moved to new home

Will be restored at Base 31 in Picton, Ont., and then put on display

Link to full article: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottaw...home-1.7143474

Excerpt:

"A retired bomber aircraft from the Second World War has a new temporary home at a museum in Prince Edward County. The National Air Force Museum of Canada (NAFMC) in Trenton, Ont., transported the Lancaster KB 882 this week. The journey took the aircraft about 50 kilometres south from the museum to a hangar at Base 31, a former air training base in Picton, Ont.
Base 31 is currently home to a concert venue and several artists' studios and galleries, and will soon house a new museum celebrating Canadian military artifacts.

According to museum officials, the plan is to restore the aircraft as much as possible before they hold an unveiling ceremony at Base 31 in June. The restoration work will then continue until the Base 31 museum officially opens to the public, which is expected to take place some time in 2025. The plan is for the museum at Base 31 to hold the aircraft for up to five years while the National Air Force Museum undergoes renovation. It will then be returned to the NAFMC's permanent collection."
