Even with the use of a loaner engine from the BBMF, they have incurred significant costs to swap out the engine plus facilitate the repairs to our engine, which will needed to be ready for the end of September for its return to Canada.

What a shame for many, tomorrow's event was a sell-out
It's possible they may now reduce the number UK commitments out of preservation's sake, as it's a the long journey home yet to be made.

Hi All,  Some news on the Kirkby 3 Lancs cancelled appearance Yesterday. It seems that the scheduling involves an accumulation of flying hours. That said it appears that by cancelling one fly-past they may be able to reschedule the first 3 Lancs display. See Link below: 3 Lancs One - Take TwoHope this makes some people happy Regards delboy271155 (Derek) COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"

It seems that the appearances are now back on track, but it appears there were many moans as to why at least the BBMF Lanc did not do a flypast at this weeks Lanc event.
The reason being was to store its flying hours for a re-schedule of the appearance, otherwise this may have meant the BBMF Lanc could not then appear at te re-scheduled event.

Hi All, Off to three Lanc`s take two tomorrow. Weather forecast offers wall to wall sunshine for the afternoon, 18-20 degrees. British weather , I`ll be happy with high cloud and 14-16 degrees. We`ll see,  So looking forward to loads of great pics, if my camera skills permit. Then when I`ve posted that report, I`ll disclose my next super visit, that will take place on the 17th Sept (something totally different). Happy Building Regards delboy271155 (Derek) COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"
