Great pics Ralph! Looks like a fun day out. The Lancaster is beautiful but very small inside. You can get a real sense of how cramped and difficult it would have been for those brave men. I like the Catalina too. Always had a soft spot for flying boats.

Sorry for the blurry photo, I shot this in a rush to the gate at the St. John's airport in 2012.  I knew Jens Birck would like to see the display they had arranged in the lounge area.  One of Jens' other talents is identifying planes by sound alone.

Why am I not surprised? That fellow walks on water too, if I'm not mistaken.  8)

A couple more of Avro's finest.  My brother trained on Lancasters and Lincolns before going on to Shackletons.  The Catalina is for MattT

I have heard that Peter Jackson offered to get Auckland's Lancaster airworthy. They declined the offer. www.nzmuseums.co.nz/account/3031/object/957/Avro_Lancaster

I was fortunate to be at Ardmore, near Auckland, for the launch of the DH Mosquito restored there.
