I can't remember whether I've posted this on here before, so apologies if I'm repeating myself... but the recent handful of posts on old planes reminded me.

The Canadian Warplane Heritage museum owns and operates the second of two Lancasters flying today - the other, of course, is part of the RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight. This August, Canada's Lanc is flying (via Goose Bay, Narsasuak and Keflavik) to Coningsby, due to arrive on August 8. It will then undergo some testing and crew training at Coningsby before joining BBMF for a series of airshows across the country until mid-September.

The opportunity to see two Lancasters flying together is being billed as a "once in a lifetime" opportunity: the last time it happened was apparently 50 years ago over Toronto when they were retired from service with RCAF in 1964.

Further details are on the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum's website here http://www.warplane.com/lancaster-2014-uk-tour.aspx
