Thanks for the update Mike. I figured that's where it ended up, but I wasn't sure. Glad to hear it isn't a giant pigeon house any more!

I'm not sure if you recall or not, but a few years ago that Lanc was at the centre of a most ridiculous controversy. Some local residents wanted it repainted. They felt it looked to "war-like"!! What really did they expect. A pink Spitfire works for me, but a pink Lancaster. NEVER!!
