I had a great experience this week touring the interior of 'Just Jane' at East Kirkby!
Sat in all the turrets and the cockpit and had a very knowledgeable guide who gave us an amazing insight to life on board

Great post Nick!Did you notice that unique smell that old wartime aircraft seem to have that's a cross between petrol, hydraulic oil, dope and for some reason the sticky insulating canvas tape on the electrics?? That was always very apparent to me on the old warbirds down at RAF Cosford, even after they hadn't flown for decades.

Great place that ive been there too although i did not get to enter the aircraft, smashing place to visit lots to see .
Great photos Nick! I've been inside our Lanc here in Western Australia and it was fantastic, a great experience that I'd do again any day!
I think you may be referring to "Eau de Elsan" perhaps....????
