Now I can confess when we saw them last Nov at the fireworks, they said then they were nearly there on sourcing all the spares required.

Me and Cluny were eves dropping

Thanks for the links they make interesting reading.....

[Ducati Boy]

Brilliant news, I think I'll dust off me CV

[Mayfly]

would be interesting to work on her

[Sploosher]

Just been on Radio BBC Lincolnshire [although I haven't heard it personally] - The Panton Brothers have stated JJ will be returned to flying condition - work is expected to start in 12-14 months time once they have all the spares they require & hopefully the restoration will take 2 years......

Thanks for that M.F. be good to see a second flying Lanc' in the UK and a third in the world!

Just been looking at buying tickets to this years RAFA airshow at EK!

got mine already, well our friends in Louth have them as a birthday treat for me..............

It sure would, most of the kit I was trained on was Lanc/Shack era or Vulcan. All that lovely hand made pitot static and O2 copper pipery, air driven gyros, clockwork sextants, drift indicators etc. Bring it on I'll do it for free NAAFI lunches and a cuppa twice a day with engine oil on the top!

Got DT's name down for Pilot yet then??

[Mayfly]

Haha, he did say she might be the one aircraft to get him flying again - but with BBMF down the road there are enough Lanc pilots available...

Maybe so my dear but there is only one DT. Use your charm

[Mayfly]

You think I have some Jiggy?

[Jigsaw]

:-o You think I have some Jiggy?

Good point...I shall edit my previous post at the earliest opportunity

[Dangerousdave]

But as JJ is in civilian hands and not military, wouldn't DT be in the running?

[Mayfly]

He has been offered the opportunity in the past but he gave up flying almost 18 mths ago - although he came home from a symposium yesterday with a twinkle in his eye & announced he had been offered more flying!

More than enough Lanc pilots around these parts to cover the need.......
