World's only flyable WWII Lancaster bombers meet in Lincs

Impressively long lived

It's amazing that they can keep two Lancs flying for nearly seventy years! Sadly not true for other aircraft - Vulcan XH778 is still going now, but next year she'll hit the buffers because of the rules about flying hours for some of the airframe components, and that will presumably be that. Keep an eye open for her at shows this year and next, as it'll be your last chance

More at http://www.vulcantothesky.org/ - they need £200K to service her for next year's displays.
