In 1965 a crew of eleven
volunteers flew a worn-out war-time Lancaster Bomber from Sydney to Biggin
Hill, England, a distance of over 12,000 miles, in order that the aircraft
could take its place with other vintage aircraft in a British museum. It was, at
the time, the last Lancaster remaining in flying condition.
This book is the story of how
the group of dedicated volunteers restored the plane to air-worthy condition to
tackle the long flight & the day to day experience of flying it there, a 21
day journey.
Published by Boolarong Publications (Queensland) in 1982, First Edition, Hardback with dust
