Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, the Lancaster Bomber will fly again. At least that is the hope from the team of people working on it,(one of the few remaining in existence). In her war time days, the Lancaster's working life averaged 3 weeks, because so many were shot down. As this surviving 'old lady' is showing little signs of wear and tear, even in her denuded shell-like state, it is likely that the Lancaster will soar.

What I find hard to accept is that the eventual paintwork is a secret! Surely, if history is to be recreated it should be, and my guess is the plane will be, in its original colours.
