Holy smokes very nice!!!! how much are one of them worth? (estimated average)?
Thanks for all the good comments. No, none are for sale Not really an obsession, I least I tell Pat it is not, but these are very unique, less than 1,000 built over a 20 year period at a time when the British Empire was involved in bloody scraps all over the world. Look closely, first column fifth down, shows very clearly where she was hit by a bullet! The Google definition is very close. Making to much money? never but I am watching my investments, as a self employed "Gun Runner" my pension plan is not very rosy! I prefer my Lancaster's to RSPs but that is always a touchy subject with my accountant I sold a lot of neat toys that I had collected over the years, like a semi auto MAG 58 that my kids can not inherit and I am not allowed to take to the range and a beautiful MP 34, yes MP, not to mention a mint matching MG34 with a .308 conversion kit, but now you have me dreaming.
Nice collection John, thanks for sharing it with us.

So have you looked around to see if yours is the largest collection in North America? Perhaps worldwide? I see museum stats in your future!
I have a spread sheet with details of every Lancaster I have ever seen anywhere listed. I have 90 on the spread sheet, I have 20 here and two more on route to me, so I have 22 out of the 90 I have come across. If they had a 40 to 50% survival rate then I have a long way to go. I will always be pleased to receive the details of any Lancaster found any where, number of barrels, length of barrels, caliber, finish, serial number etc. and a photo if possible. Maybe one day Iwill write a book on these.
Dam I was hoping to see a picture of a 4 engine bomber on display out side your store
Pre-orders are horrible for everyone involved. They never go smooth. We will not be doing a pre-order to bankroll this project.
Wow, very impressive. I wonder if the person that was handling the one that was struck by a bullet survived. Pretty crazy
