Trail of the missing Lancaster Bomber

Posted by peter on Fri Sep 21, 2001 10:33:10 AM

Hello..
Two years ago I recieved an email regarding the remains of Lancaster MKX KB976 and KB994. This was the complete ex Strathallan Lancaster and the complete Fuselage of 994 that Charles Church had bought.
The info I recieved was that the complete Tail section Of KB976 was sitting at Crowland Lincolnshire and the mid Fuselage was at North Coates Airfield and the Cockpit section went to Kermit Weeks in Florida along with parts of 994.
KB994's cockpit was reported to be at Hurn Airport Bournemouth
Can anyone confirm the location of these parts. I have seen a photo of a lanc cockpit at Sandtoft airport and this bears the damage from a roof collapse so it must be KB976..???
