Quickmarch 488 Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 I wonder if that's the same aircraft that the Warplane Heritage Group at CYHM had in bits in their big hangar at Mount Hope back in the '70s. I believe the carcas had been recovered from someplace like Labrador - it was a white hull. However, I'm using some really old brain cells to drag this stuff up. I left there around 1980.

hurricanemk1c 195 Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 I believe it is the same aircraft March - the Lancaster (FM213) was in all-white colours at one time (ie the last time it went to Iclenad actually!) Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Kieren, In that case it's quite an accomplishment. Last I saw the a/c it was a hull and a stack of wings/parts all piled against the back wall of the hangar. My apologies to the rebuilders for doubting their ability to complete the project. Link to post Share on other sites

brett 2,315 Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 What a great experience for the crews flying it. They are probably going to have permanent nerve damage in their faces from smiling so much. Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 It still has to be a little nerve-wracking to go feet-wet over the tall-wet behind piston engines. It was done a lot in the past, of course, but Mother Nature is a bitch and things that go "boing-boing" break sooner than things that go "Hmmmmm". John Link to post Share on other sites
