Have you seen the temporary new markings on the port side of our Lancaster?
We’ve recreated the scheme of Canadian-built Lancaster KB773, which joined 431 Squadron RCAF in Yorkshire, England, on July 13, 1944. 1/3

[Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum @CWHM]

As always, the starboard side of the aircraft remains dedicated as VR-A, KB726, the Mynarski Memorial Lancaster. 3/3

[Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum @CWHM]

Originally coded SE-A, it was later re-coded SE-P and carried nose art of a boy named Pete. Our markings represent the aircraft after 32 operations- it would complete 46 before returning to Canada post-war.
We are pleased to honour the legacy of 431 Squadron with this scheme. 2/3

A little piece of history touched down at #YKF today. The Avro Lancaster Mk.X stopped in at YKF for a quick refueling while out on a flight today.

The historic aircraft, built in 1945, resides at the @CWHM in Hamilton ✈️.
