Sounds like they are looking for someone to pay the gas....
I agree and can't blame them for trying to find a sponsor. Fuel from Hamilton to Europe ??? I can only imagine they need huge amounts.

I never expected we would ever see both flying Lancs together and I only hope they will include the Market Garden remembrance here in Holland in their Schedule.
Flying an old ww2 plane around half the globe....stunning! Apart from the Lancaster, two C47's will also fly from N-America to Europe, albeit some weeks earlier for the Normandy Anniversary. Actually I think one of them will leave New York for UK tomorrow!

Hi Alex,
I think the Lanc is only visiting for a short time, but heard a few days ago that it should be displaying with the RAF Lanc at the IMPS Combined Ops event at Headcorn aerodrome in Kent.

regards, Richard
