Jeff Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Hey guys, I just got the latest BCMC news letter and they are going to set up a Lancaster VR experience at the Museum very soon..... check this video out..... if you get a chance you should check out the museum it is well worth the donation admission...... we have a real live Lancaster with engine starts, a Bristol Hercules engine they fire up, a Mosquito restoration you can touch with a host of other BCATP artifacts and aircraft....... http://www.bombercommandmuseum.ca 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krow113 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 I was lucky enough to see this bomber with all 4 Merlins turning , stood behind and felt the power of the airflow. Unforgettable. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted February 15, 2019 Administrators Share Posted February 15, 2019 Go for it Jeff! Do they have any future plans of making this aircraft airworthy? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted February 15, 2019 Author Share Posted February 15, 2019 They sure would like to, and it is in the plans but it would take a huge effort, and of course lots of money, but as far as I know yes eventually that is the plan.... it does taxi and all the systems work, bomb doors, control surfaces, lights etc, but she is missing a lot of key components....... the task for now is to expand the museum grounds so she can taxi around on her own power, go and stop... we just need to make the grounds larger and get it paved...... hopefully in the not too distant future..... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
