That Lancaster bomber is of only 2 flying in the world right now, of the 7,377 built by Avro, there are 15 others that are pretty much complete, but only 2 are airworthy.
In August 2014, VR-A, FM213 aka-Vera, flew over to Britain and joined its sister PA474 based in Coningsby, the UK, is operated by The Battle of Britain Memorial. This was the first Trans Atlantic crossing of a Lancaster bomber since 1975. They flew formation demonstrations in the UK.
Each RollS Royce Merlin V12 engine produces 1280hp from 27 liters or 1,650 cubes displacement.
Mr Plunkett rents these old planes to fly over his annual Cadillac car show near London Ontario.
That would have been a cool show to have gone to, good photo op for the 57.
