-Ok Now,
Lets just kill this now before it runs away again, when I talk to the Dept. Director of the CWH she told me flat out that the Lanc. wil not be going to England period.
If the rest of you would like to confirm this here is the Telp. # 1-905-679-4183 ask for Pam.

-Can't argue with that then, unless they're simply not allowed to say...until they are, sort of a thing.
So, were our online colleagues from the BBMF simply winding us up, then? I have to say, if they were, it wasn't very funny!
Just what IS going on with this story, anyway?

-We will have to wait and see then!!!, but I have read the correspondence requesting engineering support from us if they come and we have a visit later this month from one of the pilot's so don't dismiss this trip just yet. At least they are looking into coming over and if they do it will it will be event of 2005

-Hey Fluffy,
With all do respect when I talk to the dept. Director she said No they won't even allow the Lanc. to go to Geneseo which is 45 Minutes away. I'm not sure what these engineers are telling you but when the Dept. Director tells me No then I'm going to beleive her.

-good luck to them if it happens. i doubt the BBMF would tell porkies about this.

-It would be a great way to cap 2005 "the year of the Lancaster"..! What with a lancaster coming down off a post and another lancaster ground running for the first time in 40 years!

Perhaps a case of:-
The official line is "No".
The actual line is "Maybe".

-Hi Crazymainer.
You might be right but as I have already said we have been asked to give engineering support for their Lanc IF it comes over. At this moment until we are told otherwise the CWH must be considering such a trip or someone there is winding us up which I doubt as I know the people involved. Finally can I just say lets wait and see what happens.

-Fluffys right lets wait and see what comes of it. It is a great idea and would really like to see it happen but first things first is the cost and engineering side of such and undertaking!

Really don't know whether this is an example of a rumour spreading and a bit like a mole popping it's head up in different places.....
There's a quote on Hyperscale which again refers to the CWH Lancaster trip across the pond, but this time adds that it's being funded by a rich Englishman and includes the throwing of 3 Merlins into the CWH pot
Make of it what you will
