I hope they get this project off the ground ... literally.

Speaking of Avro Lancasters did you see this one - http://www.urbanghostsmedia.com/2016...usters-remake/

Not just one replica Lancaster, but allegedly ten!

Oh, goody!

Bringing the three together for a tour would be something to see !

Great work by those involved.

Perhaps a new Dambusters movie is in the works...?

Thanks for sharing the pics and the hope, Steve!

All the best,
Matt

Britain is rapidly on its way to having its museums better-armed than its actual air force.... :)

I have heard rumours that Peter Jackson's historical combat aircraft collection is the 9th biggest airforce in the world!

Peter Jackson is supposed to be working on another Dambusters movie isn't he? Two Lancs flying together looked great, three would be something else.

Sir Peter is the one building the ten replicas in NZ. It would be great if at least one was flight ready

It would be tremendous to see three flying Lancasters together.

God knows where the CAF would fall, then....

Considering the CAF has something like 150 airworthy planes I would imagine they would be up there. But there are 12,000 members of the CAF.

Peter Jackson has sole ownership of 40+ WW1 aircraft - the largest single collection of WW1 combat planes anywhere on Earth. Just down the road Paul Allen of Microsoft fame has 20+ WW2 warbirds.

Gotta love the aviation history currently flying over the Land of the Long White Cloud.
