Newly painted Lancaster airborne in Canada

摘要

The Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum's Avro Lancaster B.X FM213 is now flying from its Hamilton, Ontario, base with new, temporary markings on its port side. The famous bomber, one of only two airworthy Lancasters in the world, now represents KB700 Ruhr Express. Its usual markings, KB726 'VR-A', remain on the starboard side. Lancaster KB700 was built by Canada's Victory Aircraft in Malton in August 1943. Its first flight and departure to England attracted much publicity in its homeland.
