This may interest some of you and the footage shot is excellent.

This is the Lanc I see flying over my area from time to time. Mercer ( the host ) is a big kid at the best of times but if you love vintage aircraft you'll understand .

Anyone can purchace a flight on the Lanc but you need deep pockets....$3000 for a 60 minute flight. A flight in the B-25 is "only" $500 but the flight is only 20 minutes

3000 Canadian?

I was actually at John C. Munro airport this summer, didn't see the Lancaster but saw signs for the Canadian Heritage Warplane Museum.

Sidenote: outside the village I currently work (in Sweden) there are still broken up remains of a Lancaster nicknamed 'Easy Elsie', crash landed there in 1944 after raids on Tirpitz...
