A safety reminder: Please keep clear of the red and white fence. This fence is designed to stand the jet-blast of landing aircraft, where a solid fence could be destroyed and create a hazard. Mind your safety, and that of road users; keep clear of the frangible fence. Thank you.

We are pleased to confirm that after a successful Post Maintenance Air Test yesterday, Lancaster PA474 is airworthy after her extensive winter maintenance. We are looking forward to returning to the skies with the Lancaster as soon as possible!
