I should have been more precise, I meant only one flying Lanc, until a few years ago the Canadian one was a static display airframe but they restored it to flying condition.

There is also a third complete Lancaster at the Bomber Command museum in Lincolnshire and this has progressed from a static exhibit to taxying, but remains unflyable as yet.

I was flicking through the current edition of Aeroplane Monthly in W H Smiths last week and there are some colour shots of a B-36 restoration project. I didn't read it though but it might be worth you tracking it down?

I'll look out for it would love to see one of those monsters in the air again.

Although I imagine the cost would be prohibitive

Hey just though I'd link you to a page about the restoration and assembly of a b-36 for prima air museum. Not a flying example though that I can think of. X558 was still a taxi worth airframe and thats not the case with any B-36 that I know of. Any ways here is the link

It's a supposed photo of the mythical Aurora craft.

Not sure if it's real, but I've seen several times on the internet, I think it's shopped.
