Just had an e-mail from the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum to say they are bringing their Lancaster over here for the month of August 2014. She leaves Hamilton on the 4th arriving at BBMF on the 8th. She will spend the month here going to displays with the BBMF Lanc and will also include bomber crew flights for those that have bought a membership.
Awesome!
Actual tour details are still to be defined, but here are the eyewatering prices for a flight from their website:
The Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum's Lancaster will also conduct a limited number of UK Bomber Membership flights from Humberside Airport while in England. This all inclusive membership includes the opportunity to be a crew member for a 30 minute flight in the Lancaster over selected historic airfields and bases of Lincolnshire, which is often referred to as Bomber County because of the number of Bomber Command Squadrons based there during the Second World War. We are limiting the membership flights to only 75. This is a "Once in a Lanc Time" opportunity and will not be available again
Each flight will have:
• 4 x UK Bomber Membership Seats @ £3,500 each
• 1 x UK Bomber Membership Cockpit Area seat @ £5,000 each
Flight dates: August 18, 19 20, 26 & 27 (3 flights per day: morning, mid-day & afternoon)
Eyewatering maybe, but the only chance you will have in flying in a Lancaster in the UK.
Saying that, I wonder if this open up possibilities for 'Just Jane' when she is flying again?
