We flew back from Toronto two weeks ago.

As we pulled into Totonto Hamilton Airport a Lanc flew over at about 150ft.

There's an aircraft museum on the airfield.

4 twelve cylinder engines with the taps wide open. Sounded brilliant, looked stunning. Also better than anything the US put up in era.

Slightly off topic but pictures of Lancasters always remind me of this joke/true story:

The German controllers at Frankfurt Airport were a short-tempered lot. They not only expected you to know your parking location but how to get there without any assistance from them. So it was with some amusement that we (PanAm 747) listened to the following exchange between Frankfurt ground and a British Airways 747 (radio call Speedbird 206) after landing.

Speedbird 206: "Good morning Frankfurt, Speedbird 206 clear of the active."

Ground: "Good Morning, taxi to your gate." The British Airways 747 pulls onto the main taxiway and stops.

Ground: "Speedbird, do you not know where you are going?"

Speedbird 206: "Stand by, ground, I'm looking up the gate location now."

Ground (impatiently): "Speedbird 206, have you never flown to Frankfurt before?"

Speedbird 206 (coolly): "Yes, twice in 1944, but it was dark, and I didn't stop."
