Re: What would you pay to fly in a Lancaster ?
I was happy enough to see the British Lancaster fly past and waggle its tails for me and a friend (we were just the two of us in the country and it made an extra circle to say hello when it noticed we were waving ).
Actually there is another Lanc that could fly but that taxis in England and does not take off. Others are being currently restored but I don't know if they wil lever fly again.
To answer your question It's difficult to say. I would have to buy a several hundred euro ticket to cross the ocean first. I'd probably pay the same for an hour flight in a Lanc. It would be absolutely unique, my dream would be to sit at the tail gunner seat and have a warm tea while surrounded with freezing air. I'd imagine the stres the tail gunner went through. He was to warn the skipper in case of a rear attack, so he could not fall asleep despite the intense cold. Tell are you one of the lucky ones who will actually experience this flight?
