A dogs sense of smell is truly an amazing thing. They can not only smell increadibly faint smells but can isolate different smells in a mix of things. Masking a bomb smell for example with something like garlic or onions or meat etc doesn't work as the dogs can separate out the different smells.

Got home OK, somehow...
Looked up the BuNo number. Turns out it's this guy:

Looks like he got pranged a bit himself. Considering he was the only one of three to make it back, he was damned lucky.

Good news.
FM104 flew postwar in the SAR role until September of 1964, when she was sold to the City of Toronto and placed on a concrete stick...
...in the rain and snow and essentially left to rot.
In 1999, they pulled her down from her lofty grave and brought her inside for a resotation to static display.
And now she's in Victoria, awaiting restoration to flying status.

With the return of FM104 to the air, the world will have three flyable Lancs. Just Jane is on track to fly as well. And, given sufficient funds and expertise, the Nanton Lanc could go up, too.
I would give my left kidney, nut, and leg to see five Lancs fly over me in formation. Twenty Merlins at full song. Imagine what that would be like.

Calgary has one as well, sat on the ground in front of the airport with a similar story. a friend and i actually snuck into that one through the rear turret and had a chance to look around.
