[Leica] Visiting the Avro Lancaster at the Warplane Museum in Hamilton, Ontario

Morning Luggers,

My half brother Frank was a Lancaster pilot in the Canadian 405 squadron 
during WWII. Because of this connection we were able to have a
private visit to the Lancaster located at the Canadian Warplane Museum in 
Hamilton Ontario. The Senior Lancaster Pilot, Leon Evans, took us through 
the plane and then flew it in the afternoon for the second flight of the 
day. This aircraft is one of two Lancasters still flying in the world. The 
other one is stationed in Oxford England. 

The Lancaster folder is here with about a dozen photos:

The first picture is of my old friend Fred Fox, who had a career with CBC TV 
and Sony, and came along as our videographer with daughter Anna and 
grandkids Olive and Aubrey in from of the Lanc. We were making memories for 
the grandchildren. Other photos follow - click left.

All photos were taken with either the Fuji X100F or the XT 2 with the 55 - 
200 zoom. The roar of the Lanc RR Merlin engines is very impressive. The 
sound of 100 of these aircraft flying into Europe on a bombing mission must 
have struck terror on the ground.

You can look large if you like. C&C always welcome. 

Cheers

Howard
