Ed, can't fault your love for this warbird. But no. I'm sat on the edge of Bomber country tonight before I get married, lots of RAF Bomber Command strips quite close. My money goes to rebuild Just Jane at East Kirkby. We have two flying Lancasters left in the world, I'd like to make it three. I have no doubt that the Catalina deserves more recognition, I love it as a plane and for what it did to pull us out of the clag. There must be some US millionaires who can fund this and use it as a tax dodge (joke!), but I hope they get the money to keep her going, and you are right to flag this up to us. Old warbirds are very precious.

@stevetournay6103 That would be awesome Steve; I saw Vera flying with our other Lanc when she visited maybe ten years ago. A vic of three - my knees might go a bit weak!

@EdNashsMilitaryMatters Just Jane is looked after by lincsaviation, plus a chap called Neville Wheeldon does an almost weekly YT vlog about the stages of her restoration. We were lucky enough to afford a taxy ride in her last month!
