For the past 30+ years, Lancaster Fm212 has resided upon a concrete pedestal in Jackson Park ,Windsor Ontario Canada. Over the years the weather and vandals have damaged this once proud aircraft. Volunteers have given up their weekends to repair and repaint the airplane in situ until recently when an inspection found cracks appearing in the engine mounts. The Windsor Lancaster group is fighting a tough battle on behalf of the Lanc, to have her removed and restored as a fitting memorial to the bomber crews that didnt return home. Please have a look at the website and if you would be interested in taking part in the letter writing campaign to show your support for this project, please let me know by email.
