The Canadian Warplane Heritage Lancaster took to the air today with her new propellers! Thanks again to all our donors, our hard working volunteers and the Greenwood Military Aviation Museum.

Spectacular! It's hard to think of a shot that would more perfectly evoke Canada's warplane heritage. I'm sure seeing her like that makes all the effort worthwhile. Well done.

Great news and excellent photo! That picture would look awsome if it was retouched to look like and old b and w or sepia type wartime picture!

I had my first ever flight in a Lancaster at the age of 13 as an Air Training Corps cadet (yes, 14 was the minimum age to join the ATC but I pestered them so much I was allowed to join at 12!) One hour flying around the Cornish coastline. Wonderful, and it inspired me to become a service pilot but it was so noisy I was deaf for days afterward.

Gorgeous photo!

We won't be able to make it to the Great White North this year, but I'm looking forward to seeing the Lanc fly at Thunder
