The UK’s last flying Avro Lancaster Bomber, PA474, arrived at IWM Duxford on October 29 for a major maintenance overhaul expected to take several months.
The routine service, conducted every eight years by the Aircraft Restoration Company, involves a full teardown to ensure airworthiness and preserve national heritage.
The bomber will not perform at air displays in 2026, with the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight instead showcasing its Spitfire, Hurricane, and C47 Dakota aircraft.
Squadron Leader Paul “Ernie” Wise emphasized that regular maintenance is vital to keep the historic plane flying for future generations.
