Edmundston needs a home for it's Lancaster

[Russ Gregg]

I spoke to one of the gentlemen working on the restoration of Toronto Lancaster when it was on display at Downsview about a decade ago. They had a group out west with a parts fuselage that was sending them panels and spars that were deteriorated beyond repair. The hole where it was mounted on the plinth has just been flame cut out of the bottom and was rather a mess.
Of the engines he said a couple of them were animal hotels and rusted solid but one was like new inside and could have been made to run with little effort.
During the whole conversation my wife was in plain view over his shoulder making it clear with sign language (finger drawn across throat) that I wasn't getting involved in restoring a Lancaster.
