Just wondering if the alledged flying Russian "Lancaster" might actually be the alledged Iranian "Liberator" that was alledgedly seen flying over Iran a couple of years back.......or vice-versa......alledgedly????
Or are there both of them flying somewhere ?
Also wondering if the alledged Liberator might be the alledged flyable Chinky Chairman Maow's "Air Force One" that the Ozzy bloke was alledgedly trying to aquire from China.....until the deal alledgedly went sour ???
Or is it worth chucking a Pakistani Halifax into the equation as well???
Or even...a Junkers Ju 290 ???
Very Very unlikely I know, but three Ju 290's made round trips to Manchuria in 44......at least that is what I have read....perhaps one of them never made it back to Germany after all???
A Lincoln maybe.......no?......bit too far-fetched?.......Okeley Dokeley!
What else had four engines and twin fins ?
Messerschmitt Me264.....
Heinkel He 274.....
Don't you just love these mysteries.......NOT !
If there is a flying example of a Liberator in China or Iran or wherever, and a flying Lancaster in Russia or one of the independant states or wherever......it must be possible to check the civil registeries of the various countries to see what is actually still registered and flying..........or is that too simple ?
Cheers
