Start one of my Dambuster / Air War Europe Tours tomorrow so it will be great to discuss the 2 Lancs Flying together with the clients whilst we are away !!
Must admit it's a shame that the Grand old Lady of the surviving Lancs S for Sugar is not airworthy , Avro Lancaster R5868/`PO-S' (S for Sugar) first Lanc to complete 100 Ops and completed 137 in total , now at Hendon for those who don't know !!
