Restoration of Avro Lancaster KB882

Kevin Windsor In November 2016, the National Air Force Museum of Canada (NAFMC) announced that the City of Edmundston, New Brunswick had agreed to turn ownership of their beloved Lancaster KB882 over to the NAFMC. For over 40 years, KB882 had stood as a memorial to those who served in the RCAF and reminded us of Canada’s role in both the Second World War and of the remaining 20 years that the Lancaster served in Canada. The goal of the NAFMC is to have KB882 restored to its post-war Mk10AR configuration and proudly display it in our collection of aircraft. The restoration project will be completed for the centennial of the RCAF in 2024. Presentation orginally given to CAHS Ottawa April 27, 2023.
