Default Restoring a Lancaster

It is a loft goal. Let's hope they have success as so many of these major projects seem to wither on the vine in Canada. It seems the organization behind this rebuild has experience in this type of work, so that is a good start.

Fingers crossed.

Default Comox - the land of hope

I could not help but remember the lofty dreams of rebuilding a Spitfire in Comox. The project fell on hard times (or hard realities) and passed to Michael Potter's Vintage Wings in Gatineau, Quebec.

The project became a corporation, with a business plan, management, budgets and paid specialists. The Spitfire flew in 2017 (?) and toured US via Oshkosh before visiting Comox. It was part of the promise.
