Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum July 9th, 2015 Lance Russwurm expects to be finished later today painting on the temporary markings of X-TERMINATOR, KB732, VR-X of 419 Squadron RCAF, the Canadian Lancaster that flew the most missions (84). The last known surviving crew member, Don McTaggart, will be here Saturday for the dedication.
As they have a fair few missions showing I guess at the end of each bomb run they said ''I'll be back.'' (someone had to say it)
Vera will carry the X-Terminator markings until the Oshkosh air show. It would be interesting to see the American reaction to the Lanc. They have been raised on the B-17 mythology and I think would be shocked at the bomb load comparison.
Heart warming! http://specphotos.ca/2015/07/18/oldest-surviving-lancaster-pilot-goes-for-one-more-flight/
