Some more Lancaster Pics

[ActionArt]

Here's a few pics from Nanton that were promised long ago. Finally got to it. Sometimes things move at the pace of a glacier here

[Mayfly]

Oooo thank you AA .....AND weaponry

[Xplumberlives]

Thanks Len

A nice Tallboy in there too!

Nice-looking Fire Apparatus in the first shot!

Those long, long Northern Nights result in
some Beautifully Turned-out Details, don't
they? It would be a Shame to have to drop
that bomb on anything, it's so lovingly
painted!

Thanks, Len!

Oh, and how's Geronimo doing?

Danf.

[ActionArt]

Thanks! I do love that Tallboy. It sure would have been something to see that hit!

Yes Dan, when it's dark at 4:00 there's plenty of time to go paint a Tallboy


It's a little early to tell on Geronimo. My first set of canvas prints arrive next week and one of my best galleries is doing renovations right now. This "back to school" time is really slow for art sales and the current economy doesn't help at all. Nothing is moving at the moment but it should pick right up in a few weeks. We'll see.

Nice to see another Lanc (& weaponry....) so obviously cherished and cared for, thanks for posting!

[Saracenman]

it would be FANTASTIC to see the old girl over here - especially if JJ flies again! now THAT would be a formation not to be missed - 12 Merlins (Packard Merlins, Danf ) all singing together!

[Mayfly]

she does look rather good!

[Avro683]

She is in really good shape now and lovingly looked after. I used to look after her for 16 years and thoroughly enjoyed my time on her. Noticable areas for me were the engines intitially and rebuilding the canopy and front gun turret including real guns demilled of course and spent intact 303 links to complete it.. Sometime down the road the front turret possibly might be re rebuilt to operational instead of static condition.
Sadly there is not enough area for safety reasons to get her taxxiable in front of the hangar.

Nice to see a Lanc in fine condition..................

Loved the close ups of the crew, have you got them in sepia or black and white.........
