Thank You Dennis.
For all of you that remember the Lancaster on it's pedestal at Coronation Park near the CNE, here's her story....
FM-104. http://www.lancastermuseum.ca/lancavro.html#indexfm104

Here's a link that will put a face to the story of Lancaster pilots.

I was lucky enough to meet several others of this squadron at the 40th anniversary renunion 1984.
I even met some of the people in the photos.

CNE Air Show....
I'm hoping to be there this summer to see "VR-A" painted on the Lancaster. I've seen that bird flying low enough to read most of her markings. Now I know exactly what "VR-A" stands for & would like to see it with my own eyes.
Thanks Dennis.
