H/T Pete H
From the Museum...
Hello Theo;
Thank you so much for your assistance with spreading the word on the corrosion issue we are currently experiencing with our Lancaster. I was just speaking with a friend of your’s – Pete H who encouraged me to respond to you.
Anything you can do to generate interest in support is so very much appreciated and you certainly appear to have an active blog.
The biggest problem we have encountered is the discovery that they are so VERY rare, which has prompted us to appeal for funding to enable us to purchase the 15 remaining blades currently located in the US. The immediate problem is the prop on the #1 engine which has grounded the aircraft but we are appealing for funding to allow us to purchase all the US blades. We know that when the next inspection comes due on the other three props they will be reaching the end of the flying life.
We will use our website to update everyone on the progress. I noticed that you have taken the text from our site in your message. I can assure you that our website is a secure on-line site and any donations that are received through the website are secure. Otherwise any of your friends/acquaintances can mail a cheques to the museum.
I have attached a copy of the donor card that was sent to all the museum members and supporters and if there is anything else you would like, please let me know.
Thanks again
Pam

Wouldn't it be good if Thwaites Brewery could be persuaded to chip in 10p for every pint of their excellent "Lancaster Bomber" ale that they sell?
Just a thought..
I'd like to but that bastard Obama has all my money right now...
Nice try Lakelander but....
Thank you for taking the time to email us but I’m sorry to tell you that we are not able to offer any support for your project but wish you every success with your venture
