Avro Lancaster

I suspect it would appeal to the younger generation so may be a good thing.

Yes, it looks a bit like the artwork you'd get on a kids toy Lancaster. Oh well, teeth or no teeth I'm just glad It's finally coming over to the UK.

Sorry, but I'm with Peter on this one, I think the shark's teeth look absolutely awful. Jaws comes to mind of course.

The Canadian Lanc (& her teeth) is hoped to be arriving at RAF Coningsby at 1.30 pm & the arrival date still remains 8th August

Hi Stevie

Having painted an oil painting of both Lancasters over Lincoln so the Lincs Lanc Association can publish a print (which is being launched at Waddington International), I got into a mild panic at the sight of the teeth, thinking I might have to rapidly add the gnashers to the picture before it goes to press.

I asked the question to the LLA, whose answer was: The 'teeth' and nose art were a temporary scheme for Father's day in Canada.

So, indications are that it will return to it's normal scheme for the UK tour - I hope!

Tim

Yes she will be back to being VRA no teeth for the UK trip

Cheers Tim & Peter.
