Michael Hickman Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I'm sure the engineers @ BBMF will be taking a look, after this incident, before it flies again. I don't suppose the designers thought that some would still be flying 50+ years later, but so pleased they are. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Chaddock Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 With only two Lancs flying I suspect this will require some serious investigation. Interesting that the wing tip is not a regular inspection item but as Mike points out I am sure the original design and inspection routines did not take into account such a long airframe life! Lets hope this incident does not open a can of worms! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
