Latest status on the Lanc.
 

From BBMF Facebook page 14 Aug.

Lanc progress;
Tonight on another BBMF facebook page it has been stated that the Lanc will be ready to fly in two weeks time. I am sorry to say that this is not possible. Although the engine is in place all of the systems to the engine need refitting and testing.All the cowls require a trial fit and trimming if required this is happening next week but this work will stop any progress on the engine systems. We would like her to fly again before the end of the season and we are working towards this but again at this time we cannot say when.

As per 160', any news on the "Root Cause" of the fire?

Just heard on local radio, air test today.

Sure is.

It climbed out to the North over my running route - What a view to see it airborne again! - and now I'm cooling off I can hear it growling outside my window.

Just flown passed.

What's the betting it does a photo shoot with the Vulcan before it's finally grounded?

Well done the Engineers :D:D:D:D

Hurrah for PA474...


:ok:

AGS Man, I think you could be right.

Great to see her airborne, and greased on at the end :)
