East Kirkby Just Jane Lancaster
Morning All
When Just Jane NX611 Lancaster eventually gets back into the air, Will they be doing airshows around the UK or will it just be local flying, will they also be have passengers paying for flights to help in the upkeep of the aircraft and running costs?

Just buy a cheap flight to Canada and then a more expensive one in VERA. 
Vintage Aircraft Flight Purchase Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum
About £2000. Cheap at half the price!
Bonus if you’re a Canadian tax-payer - you get a charitable tax deduction.

Very pretty.
But there's a world of difference between a pristine static display/ground running specimen and an airworthy article.
I hope Just Jane makes the transition, but I'm not holding my breath.

US regulations seem much more relaxed. I flew in a Huey (no doors) and a DC3 at last years TICO Warbird show and flights in a Cobra were on offer. Have heard of B29 and B17 rides.
Great fun and we know we are taking an increased risk. Why are the CAA so much more conservative?

UK CAA, aka, "Campaign Against Aviation"
IIRC, The Air Navigation Order, (The Law), has a section that starts with the words: "AN AIRCRAFT SHALL NOT FLY ", and then lists all the conditions that have to be met to allow it to fly.

I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could
Just Jane on the circuit?
Pure speculation, the principal purpose of getting JJ airborne is as a memorial to their brother. Money raised from taxy runs has been toward that aim and mutual support with the museum.
Unlike PA374 , JJ is the major exhibit at the museum. Any tour away from base would have a negative effect on the museum. In comparison with the Vulcan, fuel costs will be minimal at 200 gal per hour, but then of course slower transit speeds would n reflected in cost per mile.
