The Lancaster Bomber experienced an in-flight fire today when the starboard outer engine caught fire during preparation for Saturday's VE Memorial Fly Past.
The aircraft landed safely and all the crew were uninjured. The extent of the damage is not yet known but it will be some time before the aircraft will be airworthy again. Sad day.
