@88mroux it would be amazing to see another airworthy lancaster, the cost is prohibitive though, even if the owners could afford to have it brought to airworthy condition, theres insurance, the cost of fuel, maintenence and all manner of hidden costs.
-
@derro1989 why not restore those other parts of the aircraft so she can be airworthy again? After all what fun is a restored vintage aircraft when it cant fly?
-
@88mroux theres alot more to making an aircraft airworthy than just serviceable engines. While the engines are in good working order the airframe could very well be long past its fatigue life
-
How could you say it's not airworthy if it's engines are working?
-
@LIVERPOOLSCOTTISH While I understand the owners thinking. There are plenty museum Lancs that are in original condition. There is only one flying. A second would be so valuable.
-
@sn0wD Just Jane could easily fly, the principle reason why she cannot be cleared by the CAA to fly is because the owners refuse to modify her to the standards required by the CAA. The owners are keen to preserve Jane as a truly original Lanc. In order to be licensed to fly, she would have to undergo numerous modifications. Who knows, one day perhaps it might happen.......

@Afrothunde6 you tit
-
@Boggie1277 The hanger there is not original - but the control tower is.
-
Four Merlins?

Definitely outside East Kirkby's hangar - my Mum was in the WRAF there during the war 1943-45.

Hi, great video. 5/5 from me.
I had a NX611 ride last year. What an experience. A fantastic day, well worth saving up for. Recommend to anyone with a bomber command interest.
But, isnt this the former RAF East Kirkby? As far as I know, Spilsby was a nearby satellite for East Kirkby. Just Jane now resides at East Kirkby, not Spilsby. Or am I missing something? (wouldnt be the first time!)
Great vid! watched it three times.

Wow, wold love to go on a ride like that.
You may be right about the East Kirkby. I'm quite not sure where it was filmed - It's just that that tape says "Spilsby" but I can't actually remember where we went to film it.

Yes thats right this is RAF East Kirkby!
RAF Spilsby is north east of here between the villages of Great Steeping and Monksthorpe. It is known locally as 'Steeping Airfield' now.
There is a memorial there but very little is left of the actual airfield. Just a hanger, and some small buildings on private land.
