Only two Lancaster Bombers are still flying in the world. A Canadian group owns and flies this one.

I'm sure parts are hard to come by to get them airworthy. What wonderful history in this plane and what a kick for the pilot to be flying such a rare bird! Thanks for sharing your wonderful photo, Ted.

Hi Ted, This is a great picture. We have the luxury of seeing the Lanc (this particular one, included!) at the Hamilton Air Museum here just outside of Toronto. If you ever fly in, check out the museum, it's an enormous hangar filled with antique planes in various stages of flight-worthiness. Part of the museum is entirely dedicated to the history of this plane. And apparently you can buy a ticket for an annual flight the Lanc does to the states. It's a lot of money, though! Anyway, it's cool that you got this action shot!

You got the propellers to stop moving! You can have quite a wall collage of these shots, Ted.

Never rebuke while you’re still indignant about a fault committed—wait until the next day, or even longer. Then calmly, and with a purer intention, make your reprimand. You’ll gain more by a friendly word than by a three-hour quarrel.

Yes there are still quiet a few flying around.
I have seen the one from the Brittish Memorial Flight flying here in Holland.
The BMF does a great job in keeping their fleet of Spitfires, Huricanes and the Lancaster flying.
As a hobby i do collect 2WW allied airplane instruments, when i have enough collected, i rebuild the instrument panel, yes i know, i am nuts.
As it is, i have the panels ready from the Lancaster, Spitfire, B-25 Mitchel, and the FU 4 Corsair. since those instrument panels take up rather a large space, i doubt or i will ever build another.
What did you think of the roar of thos 4 rolls royce merlins ?
It totaly blows you away if they come in low, just great, music to my ears. I have never seen a flying B-24 (remembering your post from yesterday) but have seen and heard the B-17 take of and land, those radial engines are great to hear as well :) thanks for this posting.

Beautiful shot Ted. I was priviledged to see one fly when I was stationed in England during the 70's. Love the sound of those Rolls Royce engines.

The name ChuPat is derived from my nickname Chuck and my wife of 34 years name Patti. Her photography will appear on Caedes as well from time to time.
i love these old aircraft and especially this Lancaster Bomber. I was actually able to get up close to one at the Imperial War Museum at Duxford. The noise the engines is like chocolate for your ears, like when chocolate melts in your mouth! Great Picture and well taken, well done and thank you for sharing!

Another great shot, 55,000 Bomber Command airmen died during the war, I really don't knowh ow they did it night after night. The worst of it is that they were never given a campaign medal, the early days of political correctness!

Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends, we're so glad you could attend, come inside, come inside... (ELP)
Hello Ted....A superb shot of the Aircraft...Going by your gallery you seem to be very interested in military aircraft?.....Over here in the UK they have a Hurricane, spitfire and of course the Lancaster that do flypasts at the local airshows...It is called the Memorial Flight....The original purpose of the Memorial Flight was to help celebrate the Allied victory and the anniversary of the end of the Second World War.....All the best...Mick.
