    Lancaster to fly again ??

    in Aviation

    Posted

    I'd be great to see it happen, but I believe they'd need to respar it, the BBMF's had there's done a few years ago.

    Now, if someone can give Kermit Weeks a prod, he's got a Lanc in storage.

     

    I asked Kermit about his Lanc project a few weeks ago and he classed it as a 'long-term project' so don't see much happening in the near-term.

    Agh, it would be the No.4 as the Mk4 is a .22 version of the SMLE No1 Mk3. I was hoping I'd found someone who had used the Mk4 in cadet use. It appears the No.8 .22 had completely replaced the Mk4 in British cadet use by the 60s as know one can remember seeing them soon after the No.8 came into use.

     

    OK - just for clariification - it was the No.4 Mk 1 303 version we shot. Bren's were 303 as well. We did have .22 rifles but they didn't look like the SMLE.

    Never had a problem, gots some parts for the carrier only the other month. It could take a couple of days to get a reply

     

    Sent my first email 3 weeks ago and another one last week - no response. What email address did you use?

    Hi - I'm a Geordie who's been living in Colorado for the past five years although currently commuting to Calgary, Canada for work!

     

    Followed a familiar path into the MV world, starting with getting back into scale models about 10 years ago and then deciding to scale up to 1:1 once I got to the States and realized WWII jeeps grow on trees here (well not quite!).

     

    I have a '43 Willys MB which I bought as a motorpool restoration and marked up to represent my Great Uncle's unit in the war - 146 Field Ambulance, 50th Div.

     

    I'm in the middle of restoring a '42 Willys MB to SAS desert raider configuration. Although I've also decided to change my '43 MB to British airborne config, which I am half way through. I was also crazy enough to decide to buy an airborne trailer in the UK and ship it over to the US - it's currently on it's way - now I have to figure out where to store it!!

     

    Cheers
