The only two airworthy Lancaster bombers in the world will be flying over Devon this summer.
One of the four-engined World War Two bombers is flying in from Canada to join the Royal Air Force’s Battle of Britain Memorial Flight’s own Lancaster and together they will fly at the Dawlish Air Show in August.
Whoah, that really is a once in a lifetime event not to be missed and never to be repeated again after this summer.
Was curious how a Lancaster is going to be able to fly across the Atlantic.
The answer is simple. It has overnight stops in Newfoundland, Greenland and Iceland - all very sensible indeed with each leg of the journey being around half its potential range.
