Different Lancaster, this one is at East Kirby, Lincolnshire Aviation Centre and it isn’t cleared for flying but they taxi it up and down the runway.I think this Lancaster is part of the Battle of Britain squadron, along with one or more Spitfires and Hurricanes, which is based at RAF Coningsby. I worked on the base during the early 1980s as part of the construction team building the concrete hangars for the (new at the time) Tornadoes. Every Friday afternoon during the summer the squadron leader would take out either the Spitfire or the Hurricane and throw it around the sky above the base for an hour or so. Very entertaining.
