yes its a shame the RCAF Vets annual reunion is 30/31 May & 1st June, that would have been a hell of a tie up!

My biggest gripe is that the base where Mynarski flew from on his last mission, is only getting a flypast! The ONLY RCAFBC VC in WW2 - i think theyre really missing a big, probably the ONLY opportunity, to get the only 2 airworthy Lancs on the same ramp at Mynarskis' home station.

As Teesside is my local, I know they're absolutely overwhelmed with movements - not - and i'm equally as sure that plenty of time exists for an all ticket photo shoot with both lancs on the ramp at this historic WW2 base.

It would seem that money earning is top priority, understandably the CWH do need to try to recoup as much of the cost of this as possible, but if the Airport get on board - and lets face it they really desperately do need some positive publicity, this would seem to be a win win, but its all down to whether they, the CWH and BBMF agree and can play nicely together.
