Talking Hello

Hello all. I am a new member here. As you can see by my handle I am a bit of a Harvard fanatic. I live in Tillsonburg Ontario Canada which is home to the Canadian Harvard Association and as well I live close to the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum which also has one of the few flying Lancasters in the world. I love the lancasters also.

http://www.warplane.com/

Enjoy the links guys and I will try to post often as well as upload some pics I have of some of the planes from my collection. Now as far as I know there are only two flying LANCS in the world unless someone else knows of any other I am just curious.

Nope, there's only the two. Welcome.
Another member of our little band here lives close to those museums too. pbfoot is in Niagara, and gets to see the Ed Russell and Warplane Heritage collections quite often, including the flying Lanc.

That now makes two of you guys that I hate.
