Default Lancaster Bomber

A little while ago I had the pleasure of seeing and going through the Mynarski Memorial Lancaster when it stopped here. What a great plane, still get goose bumps remembering the sound of those engines when it took off. A shame that there are not more on those great pieces of history flying today. Below I have a some photos I took of it, wanted to take more inside but the batteries in my camera died @#%^&**

Cheers

Eric

Yes she is a great old plane , everyone should see it. If you ever get the chance to see it make sure you do, you will enjoy every minute of it. For being a big plane it was tight quarters inside. Would have loved to have seen a couple hundred of those in the air at a time.

I didn't shoot this, but you can't beat that sound. (tingling spine will accompany this film)

Default It's A beauty!

Just saw it last weekend at the Abbotsford international airshow. several flyby's, at speed. low and slow bomb bay doors open. I'd seen it before in hamilton in the hanger but i went to the airshow this year specifically to see it in the air.
