The Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum's Lancaster began life as FM213 but did not see any active service overseas during WW2. This a/c is also a hybred! After a landing accident in 1951, FM213 needed a complete centre section to repair her. So a Lanc was found on a farm in Alberta and KB895 was parted out and used to repair FM213. So - FM213 has a major section of KB895 and it's all painted to look like KB726! Cheers, Troy
