Flying on the Lancaster Bomber
As part of my visit to the Canadian
Warplane Heritage Museum, I took a one-hour flight on the B-1 Avro
Lancaster (one of only two remaining air-worthy Lancasters left in the
world today). The plane was the primary bomber used by the RAF &
Canadian Air Force in their attacks on Axis-controlled Europe in World
War II. Flying on such a historic aircraft was a once-in-a-lifetime
experience and quite moving, actually. I will never forget this.

Thanks for sharing this great film with us. Quite sobering when one thinks of those young men who sacrificed their very lives for us. Perhaps we should be striving to deserve the gift they gave us.

Great stuff. Never seen footage like that looking out of the turrets.
Brave crewman back in them days. The attrition rate on some runs were horrific.
I believe the makign of The Dam Busters have been looking for flying bombers. I heard that they were making a full mockup, but funding has stalled the film.
