c/n 37190. Canadian built in early 1945, she was delivered to the UK in March, but returned to Canada in June for service with the Royal Canadian Air Force. Retired in 1965, she went on display at the ‘Age of Flight’ museum at Niagara Falls until moved by barge to Oshawa for a planned restoration to fly. Stored until 1984, she then made a second journey to the UK, but this time not under her own power. Owned by Doug Arnold’s Warbirds of Great Britain, she was stored first at Blackbushe and later Bitteswell, at some point going on the British civil register as G-LANC. In 1986 she was sold to the Imperial War Museum (IWM) and arrived at Duxford in May 1986. A full and complete restoration, both inside and out, was then carried out to a very high standard and was completed in 1994. She wears the markings of 428sqn and represents KB743, a Lancaster X lost on the night of 18th/19th August 1944, during an operation to Bremen. KB743 was actually the only aircraft lost that night, from the 288 taking part in the operation. She is on display in the ‘AirSpace’ hangar at the Imperial War Museum, Duxford Airfield, Cambridgeshire, UK.
