Would be nice..... but, I suspect that it can't happen as it would surely have to comply with the EASA rules regarding passenger a/c..?
Given that the DC-3/C-47's that were operating PAX flights stopped because of the need to comply, I can't see a Lanc being able to do PAX flights in the UK.
If this was feasable, or even currently for the past decades under CAA regs, the operators of B-17G 'Sally B' would have been doing this for years as a means of raising money (as happens in the USA)

I've also seen reported by someone that has connections with JJ, that they have enquired about continuing taxi rides in JJ once she is airworthy, and the CAA have said yes.
