A really dedicated effort to get this airframe back working again, what a pity it was not acquired at the first attempt, standing outside takes its toll on an aeroplane, it is good that enough volunteers can be found to carry out the considerable amount of work just to get this to taxying status, I did not realise that they could get a permit to fly on this aeroplane, that would be a really huge achievement if they can. Very many thanks for posting this one Steve! Stay safe! Chris B.
Thanks Chris. They will do it as they have a very good business base and very close links with the RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, whose pilots take charge of her for the taxi runs. I have more from the Lancaster and East Kirkby to come! Steve.
Love the sound of those engines
Shes edging ever so closer to being able to fly again, great work to those involved with its restoration
Best ever experienced, a dream come true.

will be great day she takes to the skies
I did a double take and checked my own pics in case we were there on the same day as you - but we went a couple of weeks later!
That would've been a nice coincidence!😊
The wing tips look clipped.
They are. They've been temporarily removed as part of her rebuild to flight.
Lancaster cool
I was there that day was it lancs and tanks?
No, just one of the normal regular taxi run days. The day that you were there would have had even more happening!
