North America’s only flying Lancaster will be seen and heard by hundreds of thousands of people, making several stops including Winnipeg, Calgary and Edmonton.

This should be a great tour. For anyone who lives close to sites being visited, please be sure to notify your local radio stations and circulars to inform as many as you can about the Lancasters visit to your area. IT is one way you can support Canada’s finest flying history museum. The more visitors who come to see VRA the better the chance of her returning in the near future. The costs of having her travel so far from home are huge so every penny counts.
Hey,
If any members are out following the Lancaster on her tour please upload pics and update the site please
I wasn’t expecting it – the old bomber went buzzing over my house this afternoon here in Calgary. The ground shook! How cool!
A tight fight for 6 footer to get in the Lancaster,had a Great Time,Great Flight it was over too fast and Took Too Many Pictures.
