- On this flight we head to Goderich Ontario for a fly in with a WW2 Avro Lancaster Bomber that is kept flying by the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum.
Here is the video that I shot of the Lancaster in 2014: • WW2 Lancaster Bomber -...

My dad at 17 was a navigator in the Lancaster bomber in WW2 and survived his many missions, he was 20 years older than my mother and died when I was just 4 years old!
I have goosebumbs from head to toe just at the thought of seeing this plane! My Dad built aircraft during the war, and instilled a love of aviation in his family. He was an Aircraft Engineer working for Air Canada for the balance of his life. He lived planes and this was a favourite! He participated in aircraft restoration after his retirement.
Lancaster-an amazing machine. I cleaned house for a guy who I believe flew the Lancaster during WW2. Nice nice guy. Ernie Archibald lived to almost 100. RIP. Thanks to all those brave men and women who fought for our freedoms and a salute to all those who are working to preserve these awesome machines. Thank you all.
The *SYMPHONY* of those four Merlins.... Even on the ground, they are majestic. CAVU to you, Glen!!
Thank you Glen! My Dad was a tail gunner on a Lancaster, was shot down, survived to become a POW. He wanted to be a pilot but was colour blind.
Windsor has one they are restoring. Won’t be be restored to flight condition but they intend to be able to taxi with the engines running.
Seen her twice flying. Both times while riding my m/c. The sound of her 4 engines drowned out my rumbling bikes noise.
I can totally relate to what you and Julie were saying about the sound of the Lanc. I live not too far from Palm Springs, and the Air Museum there has a B17G that, while running radials, not Merlins, gives you that same unmistakable experience.
When you hear the sound of the Merlin engines, you hear the sound of freedom. I've been lucky enough to see both aircraft in the air: the Canadian one when I visited the museum in Hamilton, and the British one on many occasions out here. There's another one being restored to flying condition in the UK, too. Greets from the Netherlands.
That is a plane, the sound is fabulous
Hi there was another Lancaster on a pedestal in jackson park in Windsor Ontario, They removed it and set it on the ground and opened it up for the public to view inside and out , Then it was taken to the Canadian Aviation museum at Windsor Airport for reiteration this happened quite a few years ago
That's FM212, the previous airframe off the line at Malton to CWH's flyer FM213. She's coming along well at Windsor (as is a Mosquito project), and may be a ground-runner when complete...
Got to see a Mosquito making low passes with the Flying Heritage Collection a few years ago, and the sound of 2 Merlin engines on the Mossie was soooo sweet! I have to imagine that 4 Merlins are just breathtaking. Thanks for sharing the flying adventure as well as your earlier Lancaster footage!
I just couldn't imagine hearing 100s of them flying overhead.
Also, what a delight to see Julie flying. :-) But she's right: straight line flying is boring. That's why I fly gliders; we almost never go in a straight line!
That is such a cool plane with a neat history. Thanks for sharing.
The Canadian Warplane Heritage has a wonderful collection of aircraft.
Excellent video! Thank you.
When I was in the boy scouts we slept at the war plane museum in hamilton, underneath the lancaster
Saw her when she visited the UK and flew alongside our very own preserved Lancaster Bomber, almost 10 years ago. An amazing sight and sound.
I grew up in Malton, and you can see the effects of WW2 on that neighbourhood. Mostly with the street names (Victory Crescent, Churchill Avenue, McNaughton Avenue, and Lancaster Avenue, all filled with quick build homes to house the workers that worked at the airport and the factories attached to it) but there is also school named Lancaster, a middle school when I went there but has since changed into a grade school with the change in demographics
The Mynarski Memorial Lancaster, named after Andrew Mynarski VC of Winnipeg.
Great to see it flying still. I seen it when it came to the museum and many many times flying, to great she is still doing her thing.
A couple of years ago at our airshow a B17 performed. The sound as it flew over out house was amazing.
such a beautiful flight. There was an air show in Owen Sound and the Lancaster was there. It was breathtaking. We got to go on a flight in a Beech 18! Thank you so much for sharing with us.
I live in Hamilton, west end and hear it all the time. I always run outside when I hear it to catch a glimse. I also run outside if the Mitchell is flying over.
There is another Lancaster that is being restored to flying condition. There is a guy named Neville who is videoing the process of Just Jane NX611 over in the UK. Over 200 videos. When it's completed, there will be three.
Next week at the hangar...Julie starts her PPL training.
😂😂lol Glen makes a pretty nervous co-pilot. 😂. He'll make a pilot out you one day Jules. 😂
That Lancaster is such a beautiful old bird. I remember as a kud watching the old war movies with them in it. So cool.❤
Imagine that sound x 200. I always know when the Lanc is coming.
A couple of years ago, we had a B-17 visiting Boise and it flew multiple times over our house. It made a noise that I had never heard before.
Lancasters just sound like freedom to me. But back in the 80s and 90s I got talking with some vets and even got to know a couple of pretty good, but I only recall one name now after so many years. I got to know a George Hutton from around Barrie Ont. area who I got to work with for several months and wish I reconnected with him later on because his advise was rock solid. I know in 90s some others thought he was as tough as nails, but he just wanted the best for everyone, but he loved a good story and laugh too. Thanks for the memories!
I was in Goderich the morning of the day the Lancaster flew in. We had breakfast and took a tour of the downtown area, visited some shops, went to the beach, here and there. We wanted to see how the town had recovered after the storm they had. In all the time and for the whole morning no one even spoke about the Lancaster coming, we saw no signs anywhere nothing, so we left town and headed back to London. Now we don't own a smartphone so maybe there was something posted somewhere by someone but we didn't see anything. Luckily I've watched it fly before down in Hamilton at the heritage museum but when I found out it was there and I was there in Goderich but missed it I was pretty disappointed to say the least.
The Lancaster looks amazing! I love WWII planes myself. I volunteer with an air museum in Detroit that maintains some too, so come and visit next time you are in the Detroit area.
My grandfather was a production manager at Metropolitan Vickers, Trafford Park Manchester UK. He oversaw the manufacture of the airframes for the Lancaster Bomber.
Nice! Fun for Jules...ha ha. Flying your plane a little bit. Interesting Lancaster. Thank you, Glen.
That lanc at full tilt! You guys are great too.
Nice to see this as I was there when the first one lande at this air port and I still remember as if it was yesterday
That Saturday of the display was a hot one....Sunday was noticably cooler comparatively..... and better for flying .
The air temps near the lake are so much nicer too compared to inland !
I Almost pursued getting my G.A. licence back in '86 ... back then it was around 2 grand .... not sure how far that got a student back then since i did not ask for further details at the open house i attended .
Can't say i regret not doing it because i was involved in another hobby at the rime , and ironically that lead me into instructing in that particular area .
Nice little vid MVU. Would love to see more events and activities in the video that were occuring at the venues you attend .
Keep posting you two .
P.S. - Would be awesome to see most of the progress and lessons Julie is involved with in her journey with her instruction .
Side note...I follow Juan Browne ( blancolirio ) .... have learned an unbelievable amount of aviation survival points from his channel. I think his channel in particular is a valuable learning tool for noobies , and all G.A. pilots also , as a reminder .
I had a flight this spring,it was amazing and not what I was expected.
A memory arrived late last night, of my late Dad's auto body shop. (A one man operation, and he did *amazing* work ) Back in the late 1960s, it was, and on one of the materials shelves was a cardboard box about eight inches long by four inches wide, containing "pop" rivets. 500, maybe a thousand, I don't know for sure. But, boldly printed on the top and sides was this:
*LANCASTER SPARES*
He had obtained these as surplus, and used some in auto body repair projects.
*Somewhere* out there, there may still be an older automobile running around with WWII Lancaster fasteners installed to keep it roadworthy! Just a thought, but to me, it was a *powerful* thought. I can still visualize that box of rivets.
Best wishes, Glen!!
And Friends, LOL!
WOW! I can not imagine a dozen of these flying over head and with the fighter jets along side, ground pounding. Thank you Glen and Julie.

It builds gradually, but about 2 minutes in you can certainly hear them, and to gets louder from there
Love to see the landcaster fly around Goderich every year!
Very cool you took the time to attend this event! I live in Hamilton, and am blessed to have the opportunity to frequently jump up from my seat at lunch or dinner to run outside and look up at the sky 😂
I thought that plane seemed familiar. David Niven was flying a Lancaster in the movie "A Matter of Life and Death".
You should check out the story of Paul Burden from Fredericton NB and his flying a Lancaster low over the city for his mom to see.
Bravo Zulu Sir ‼️. That was very enjoyable to watch ! Thanks 😊 I am bummed out I missed seeing the Lancaster. I’m only an hour North on the lake ! My Grandpas friend at Ahmic Lake Mr. Fischer flew 33 missions. He was a great guy . My other Granpa was an Aero mechanic in Trenton during the War,..he would be So happy that people in Bruce County and yourselves got to see this Beauty. I have seen the one out West . To see one fly and hear the ROAR ⁉️. Oh ..that must have been the best!💕🫡🇨🇦
GLEN.......that tail cam is SOOOOOO FRICKEN AWESOME. I seriously love it. I can't get enough of it hahahaha. When I fly overseas if the plane has tailcam, I'll watch it.....❤
Glen, I'm sure you could learn how to fly it! Probably take a week to figure out the details, but I could see you doing it maybe once. 😊
During World War II, Goderich Airport hosted No. 12 Elementary Flying Training School (EFTS) for the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan, providing initial pilot training for aircrews using the Fleet Finch. Like most of the other EFTS, this school was run by a civilian flying club, in this case, the school was operated by the Kitchener-Waterloo and the County of Huron Flying Clubs. No. 12 EFTS opened on October 14, 1940, and closed on July 14, 1944. I was there with the Lanc flew in for mounting as a static display.
The landcaster was in Winnipeg yesterday and you could go inside it was very cool
The Lancaster has for sure crossed the Atlantic if only for the 75th anniversary of D-day I believe they flew both Lancaster's together with the flight of 24 spitfires around the UK and France I believe. The whole flight there and back was booked and "Crew Passengers" swapped out at stops on the way there and back as well as possibly during the flights around while there. I seem to remember reading about it or a RUclips about it happening. Was pretty impressive seeing 24 spitfires and the 2 Lancasters that is a lot Merlins purring away.
Yes I should have been more clear with that off the cuff statement while I was flying the plane. What I meant was that it never crossed the Atlantic when it was first built in the 1940s to participate in the Second World War.
Thanks from Sydney , Australia ...a great production , We have 2 Lancasters , here on static display & in recent years we saw the flying Lancasters at Duxford . The reunion Dvd is i hope still availaible from Canada. Fortunately the Lancaster in Perth is open for tours inside . Just subscribed to ypur Channel.
Helping to maintain VeRA and others at the Hamilton War Museum is on my bucket list. (Would LOVE to restore a 1:1 scale version of the Avro Arrow!!!!!!).
To paraphrase Lt. Col. Bill Kilgore (Robert Duvall) in 'Apocalypse Now'(1979) - "I love the sound of a Merlin in the morning".
Living in Niagara Falls Ontario we get the Lanc doing flyovers quite often. A beautiful plane to watch and those Merlin's sound fantastic. Imagine living in Germany during the war and heating hundreds of these aircraft flying overhead.
Interesting video. My uncle was into model airplanes, the large scale ones that you could fly with a remote. His last creation was a Lancaster Bomber but he died before he was able to fly it. That was around eighteen years ago and my aunt got hold of an aviation museum in England to see if they were interested. I wish I had clearer details but they said that was one they didn't have and they paid the shipping for it and her to go over there to donate it. As I recall, it had about a seven foot wingspan.
I was privileged to be Given my Commercial Pilot’s Licence and Flight Instructor Rating by a former WWII RCAF Lancaster Pilot some 40 years ago. Nice plane that 172 of yours. If you put a couple AA, on the tail, I would think you were flying for American Airlines. Nice video, thanks for sharing.
It flies over my house with regularity in August and around labour day. I once was going into my local Walmart a few years ago when it flew overhead at a surprisingly low altitude. It was very loud at that altitude. There’s a twin engine bomber that flies over during the same time period and it sounds different but is similarly loud.
Never flew in a plane. But liking Glen's Hanger. Love what you do, both of you. Thanks for another beautiful video. Thanks be with you!❤❤❤❤
the SOUND of the Lancaster - nothing like it. Four Merlins, such an iconic sound (as is the P&W R2800). That low pass starting at 4:53, the sound is identical to the Lancs on their passes in "The Dambusters"
Remember hanging out with a few of the factory fly girls back in the day.👍🏝️🇨🇦
Was there in the sixties to see it fly in. yep. I;m old.
Nice can you hear hundreds coming
A total of 7377 Lancasters were built in total, 6977 in the UK and 3,040 of those were MkBIII which used the PACKARD, made in AMERICA, merlin, plus another 400 MkX built in Canada, which included VERA, all of which used the PACKARD Merlins, right at one half of all Lancasters were powered by the American made Packard merlins. 11 of the 17 surviving Lancasters are PACKARD Powered....I believe I read VERA was flown to Europe but was to late for the war and returned to Canada.
Packard made some great engines, which were also fitted to P-51D Mustangs of course.
Thanks for the Lancaster footage, old and new, they are such impressive aeroplanes. I was fortunate enough to see it flying at the Abbotsford Air Show in the very late 80's/early 90's, and I visited it's sister ship at Nanton, Alta. I was trying to figure out how you could push your 172 so straightly out of the hanger till I saw it was Julie at the right strut. Have to add that I love the views from your tail & down-view cameras.
wow, loved the bomber footage. the return landing seemed hectic. good job!
Buddy's dad was captain on Stirlings and Lancasters. He was the only one in the squadron to complete his tour. Let that sink in.
There was a Lancaster on static display at the Edmudston NB airport back in the day. Bought by the Trenton museum and being restored for non flight display.
That's KB882, and she is now on show in one of the old hangars at Picton (Base 31), displayed there temporarily until NMRCAF at Trenton is expanded to keep the Lanc under cover. She is in postwar colours similar to what she wore at Edmundston...
may have been a game by DICE? They're a Swedish studio that make the Battlefield games
That's probably it? So many jobs / products over my career, they get all muddled up in my memory.
we live not far from mount hope airport and when i hear her engines, i always stop what iam doing and look to the skies.
I believe the second lancaster you referred to that is being restored is FM212 located in Windsor Ontario.
Last I saw the Lancaster, that was on the posts in Toronto, was at the Canadian Air & Space Museum when it was at Downsview and it was in pretty bad shape. Not sure where it ended up as the Arrow Model was there at the time just getting finished up. Great sound but have heard it in real life, so much better :)
The Arrow model is now in a hangar just across for Chris' shop at the Edenvale Airport. Not sure where that Lancaster was shipped to.
I remember there being a Lancaster parked at Oshawa airport in the early 80s. I thought it was the one that became the Mynarski Memorial Lancaster out of Hamilton. If it didn't it must be around somewhere.
I don't know about the one in Oshawa, but the Mynarski Memorial Lancaster based in Hamilton (the one in this video) was on a pedestal in Goderich from 1963 - 1977 when it was then moved to Hamilton for restoration. Restoration was completed in Hamilton in 1988 when it started flying again.
@@GlensHangar Maybe it is the same one, and it was parked there for a while? The time frame would line up and it as painted in the same colours as the picture in this video of the one in Goderich.
@@GlensHangar Maybe it is the same one? The time frame would be about right for it to have been removed from Goderich and parked in Oshawa before making it's way to Hamilton. IIRC it was painted in the same colours as the one shown in this video of the plane in Goderich. I think the one that you will remember being parked near Ontario Place/CNE grounds is the one that was restored by the Bomber Command museum in Nanton Alberta.
When this one in the video was on a post in Goodrich it was painted in the mid-1960s RCAF colours of silver white and red, with orange highlights for Maritime Rescue.
According to the Museum (I just checked) it went straight to Hamilton in pieces by truck and didn't leave again until fully restored in the late 1980s. It may have flown to and visited Oshawa after it was restored, but it was never parked there for any length of time.
@@minuteman4199the Oshawa one I believe ended up out in Alberta
no lunch on board Julie needs cookies 🍪
Interesting video. Thanks for posting. I grew up near the Oshawa airport and I recall hanging out there as a kid in the 70s and there were WW 2 tanks there, and, of course this beloved Lancaster parked there for years. Is this the same one? If not, what became of the Oshawa Lancaster?
Think of the noise in Hamburg during the 1000 plane raid.
Terrifyingly scary!
Lancaster makes me think of Muscle Cars, but more like Muscle Transport Tractor Trucks, by their sound! They are Throaty vs regular Engines. I am not terrified of the sound unless I was in a war, perhaps!
Hamilton bought it? Cool! We have Air Groups down in Dunnville. Only had a Chopper Ride there, because they were Extremely Insulting to me, over at the Plane Ride! Wanted me to Pay for 2 seats!! I wasn't THAT huge! I just appeared to be heavier, because of my super Baggy Pants! That pilot hurt me feelings BIG! *Note: going back I'm time to 1995, so i was not due to today's "Offended Feelings" Trend!
Just being ignorant. He could have Asked me my weight! He did not.
Since I was limited on funds? We went for the Chopper and that Pilot had NO issues with my size! So I took my young one for a Chopper Ride!
FM104 from Toronto is now in BC under restoration, but not to fly.
25 years? How long have you been flying?
The Lancaster never saw WWII service. It was search and rescue only.
I saw this aircraft when it visited St Paul, MN shortly after it's restoration. I must respectfully disagree, four Merlins singing together is a marvelous sound.
You've misunderstood my statement...
@@GlensHangar Not meant to put your comment down, you are correct the sound can be very intense.
We’re Lancasters used for passenger travel in 50’s, 60’s?
Sort of - Avro modified the design and built something called the Lancastrian.
no cookies?
2000lb or 4000lb?
OOOOOOHHHHHH THose PACKARD built in AMERICA do sing their song.......FREEEEEEEDOM !!!
Packard ?
Thought they were Merlins !
@@user-uu1wc6yz5z Do you have a reading comprehension problem ????? Go back and re read what I wrote. PACKARD Built in AMERICA merlins !!!! did you not know Packard was contracted by RR to build the Merlin FOR THE BRITS ???? Packard built 1/3 of all merlins built !!!! 37,137 for the Brits 18,000+ for the USAAF.!!!! Mainly for the Mustang. The Planes Canada built, the Lancaster VERA included used the Packard built merlins, as did 1500 Mosquitos and 1200 Hurrycanes, all built in Canada PLUS the 3,040 Mk BIII Lancasters built in England, all used only the Packard built Merlins. FYI and Facts of history the Brits are embarassed to admit. The brits also used Thousands of the Packard built M2500 PT Boat engines, and NO they were NOT merlins, Packards own design that predated the Merlin constructed by Packard of over 3 years !!!
@@wilburfinnigan2142calm down sally..he just asked a question smh
Lufthansa spent years and $160M to try to get a Lockheed Constellation back in the air. And I think they gave up. So good luck to anyone thinking their going to get the bomber back flying but I simply will believe it when I see it.
They got this one flying after 15 years of it sitting on a post and being mostly destroyed by the elements / vandalised. There are two others that are within 3-5 years of flying again if they keep the pace they've been at.
Just Jane, NX611 at East Kirby does taxi runs at moment and the full restoration to flight is a ten or so year project
It was a Lockheed Starliner.
British aerospace engineering was so beautiful. Then it went kinda not so.
As far as I remember, this Lancaster flew to England a few years ago. Maybe 10 years ago. Anyone can confirm or correct me?
Yes this one flew over a few years ago and did a series of fly ins and fly bys.
She also needed an engine change while at Teesside airport in northern England before her return to Canada.
Spot on, summer 2014. There's a documentary film about the tour, Reunion Of Giants...
@@stephenholland5930Which had been RAF Middleton St. George, the wartime base of 419 Sqn. Seeing photos of VR:A successfully landing there with one Merlin out and smoking was haunting, to say the least...
