Canadian Lancaster

Hi All,

Such a shame for all hoping to see both Lancasters ,mind you the Canadian Lanc did have trouble with an engine which delayed it's departure by 4 hours on the Monday it left Canada to fly over so perhaps this has raised it's head again.

No, that was substandard magnetos, which were changed. This looks much more serious, with the engine streaming smoke/steam during the emergency return according to a picture I have seen . It's not clear whether they were able to feather it or whether it continued to rotate

Engine change in time for Tuesday (3 Lancasters @ East Kirkby) seems to be the plan.
