This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

Raf Avro Lincoln bomber in Watson Lake


Peter.....you got me curious.....

Do you have details you could share?????


I stopped in Watson Lake in June 1992 while ferrying a Waco UPF-7 from Alaska to St. Louis. I was told that the Lincoln was fueled up with jet fuel and all four engines stopped right after take-off, with the lake the only landing option. They told me that you could still see some of the aircraft, but I walked part way around the lake and didn't see anything. They also said that there was a Waco in the bottom of the lake, a cabin type I think.
