Thread: Want a seat on a Lancaster bomber going to the UK?

I know I do but my pockets are nowhere deep enough.

Got $40K? You could cross the Atlantic in a Lancaster bomber - Latest Hamilton news - CBC Hamilton


Oh. I wish.

So I guess there is no BIN option.

That would be a blast and would love to do it if I had the means to do so.

That would simply be awesome....

That would be incredible!

I'm still kicking myself because I never managed to go flying in this beauty; I got the invite because I knew one of the former owner's relatives:

What time frame was that? The Harris Ranch was a very popular mealtime destination for the Moffett Field Flying Club. I wasn't a member, but had many excellent meals at the ranch.
