War bomber marks 50th anniversary
« on: April 27, 2007, 04:18:32 PM »
One of the world's last surviving Lancaster bombers has taken to the skies to mark 50 years of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight.
The aircraft, taking part in a flypast at RAF Coningsby, Lincolnshire, is one of only two airworthy Lancasters.

More than 7,000 Lancasters were built during the 1940s and played a major part during World War II.

Veterans from Bomber Command are at the rededication of the plane which was restored over several years.
