The Lancaster NX611, Just Jane, part of the collection at the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre, is perfectly capable of taxiing runs, and as the pilot demonstrated, the engines will run up to nigh-on take-off revs. It is not yet licensed to fly, but the Museum is making every effort to achieve that dream. The plane is the only privately owned one in the world, and one of only four that can move under their own power. It is a very touching sight when you look at the number of bombers and personnel (848 of the latter from this one airfield) which were lost. Without their sacrifices, we probably wouldn't be allowed to post on the web half the things we do.

We must ALWAYS remember them.
