Lancasters were also made at the Avro shadow factory at Yeadon (Leeds/Bradford) airport. The building still exists. Good luck with your preservation efforts. The Canadians were based locally in various locations in North Yorkshire and we do not forget them or their sacrifice.
How lovely, the Lancaster is a great aircraft
I live in Chadderton, Oldham, UK, there is a factory no more than a mile away from my house where something like 40% of Lancaster's were built.
Every Lancaster deserves to be preserved to airworthiness or static display under cover from the weather. This plane looks relatively intact and needs to be saved
Great news, well done folks. With only 17 airframes left in the world each one counts.
@soaringtractor There's only two Avro Lancasters that airworthy. One in the UK, "Thumper" and one in Hamilton ON, "VeRA" which is undergoing repairs in B.C. in 2018. Lancasters were made at Victory Aircraft Ltd, in Malton, ON.
@soaringtractor So what???????? 😂
Only 2 are able to fly
Brandon Seto there is a third in UK able to taxi and is presently being worked on to airworthiness
Michael Naisbitt really?!?! Where is it stationary?? I’ve never seen a real Lancaster, but I have to. Hopefully when it’s even gonna fly😍
Great News! Hopefully they can find some good volunteers to help work on it as well ! Regards from Alaska !
Go for it , just Jane should be flying soon in UK and Canada could have 2 for air shows as well
Even static displays are acceptable , best wishes to eveyone involved in this project .
It's being restored in Trenton, Ontario.
Rebuild her she make the hair on your neck stand up when you hear her flying and also to remember the crews that flew her in world war 2 from Canada 🇨🇦🇬🇧
A fitting tribute , they are not forgotten .
Come on Canada, get it flying
she is now in edmonton
Did they find the money? Are they going to restore the plane?
@@TheCanadiangirl4 Yes they found the money and the plane is now fully restored and fly's on a regular basis, and can be seen at the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum in Hamilton, th-cam.com/video/CAnqbFiLbyM/w-d-xo.html
@@negevsareforpros9250 Buddy you maybe right, if the Lancaster that's flying in this video at 0:20 is the one in the link that i provided, then its not the one in this video, but that also could be the British one too at 0:20, so i am not too sure now you have mentioned it, in the link that i provided at 1:31 in that video, the 2 gentlemen talk about the plane, and they say they found the Lancaster outside of a army base sitting on a pedestal in Ontario, the guy even say's it was the biggest birds nest in Ontario, so 'that's why i thought it was this plane, but there could be 2 of them, if there are 2 army base's in Ontario that would have them outside on a pedestal, also this video is old so it could be the one also
Negevs are for pros
Ignore my last message buddy, your right its not the same plane, i have just watched the video again and this one lay in new brunswick, and the one found in the link was found in Ontario, defiantly not the same plane
There's one of these magnificent planes in the motat museum in Auckland NZ. It was donated to the Rnzaf air crew by the French government as a thank you therefore should be in the RNZAF museum in Christchurch .it needs to be moved also.
Good luck with that project .
Is there a chance it could fly?
@@TheCanadiangirl4 The engines run; I don’t believe there’s any intent to restore her to airworthiness, due to the immense cost. NZ prob has the skills to fully restore her though.
She’s inside, out of the weather which is great. She was outside for a long time. She was built after the war ended, so never saw combat. The French used her for surveillance & maybe search & rescue.
@@brycenew Thank you for the update Bryce. Happy to hear that the engines are working and she's out of the rain.
@@TheCanadiangirl4 Me too! Stay well 😃
any updates on this?
"Your flight lunch was now frozen baloney sandwiches" Made me laugh out loud.
Good that they are restoring the old girl. They should re-equip her with all the turret guns, just as it originally was.
Edit: I see they did. Great job guys!
great to see this
Good work gents!
And the good ladies too !
the Lancaster is made by a British manufacturer called Avro this is why its called the Avro Lancaster Mk 1
A.V. Roe also had plants in Canada. After all diddnt you build the Avro Arrow which flew on the edges of space long befor anything NASA put up?
The Lancaster arrow is made by the Canadian company of Lancaster in the 1950's.But Avro was still a original British company created by Alliot Verdon Roe.
no its not. it is canadian built mk X. they differed mainly in the packard merlins (not RR), american instruments and a martin upper turret
@@tyrefryingoat7068 Correct.
@@charliepearson4944 Canada also had De Haviland of Canada which produced many DH aircraft similar to what the Australian firm did during the wartime years and in later years changed its name to Hawker De Haviland and even produced outboard boats! On that note Australia, at one stage during the war was seriously thinking about building the Lancaster, but the path of the war and other factors curtailed that idea. So the Lincoln was built here instead which I think the Canadians made one of before pulling the plug and scrapping the aircraft.
My relative flew in a Mk 3. Packard Merlins.
Christ if I won a couple mill in the lottery, I ll pay for it to be airworthy
I want to visit Canada. For some reason, I am drawn to Canadians. Respect.
we are a great bunch its true :)
I think I speak for all aviation nuts this and every other of the 17 airframes must be saved the ones that are in the open should be under cover there is one in West Australia in similar condition these aircraft are too important to let rust away and Canada could do with a 2nd restored example Go Canada
The Mk VII in WA at Bull Creek has been under cover for many years, and is in beautiful condition with work carried out over a long period to to bring her back up to wartime standard. With saving all 17 airframes, im not sure where your coming from with this one. The Lancaster is treasured by those organisations across the world whom either operate in flying condition, or house the aircraft in museums. Canada has the biggest population due to its long service and preservation on retirement...(hats of to the Canadians)....and these should all be in from the cold now and either on display, flying, or going through a lengthy restoration to their former glory.
@@timorvet1 as far as I know there are only 17 complete airframes left there are also quite a few wrecks either under water on on land but the chances of any of these being restored is unlikely
Any news on the Lanc ?
Its not listed anywhere on the museum website, not a part of their collection or restorations, no mention in their newsletter. So not sure if this project actually happened. Anyone know where the plane went, is it still in New Brunswick?
This lancaster KB882 was purchased by the National Air Force Museum of Canada at CFB Trenton Ontario. She has been under restoration since 2017 and is supposed to be completed this year for the 100th anniversary of the RCAF
Our priorities are in reverse of respecting history.
