Fascinating!! :-)

An English civilian G registration with a QANTAS Kangaroo "logo" near the
fuselage roundrel and on the nose near the Shell Petroleum logo.
Do you have anymore background on this Lanc??

Thankyou
Graham

She looks rather different these days, and is still in working order
(taxiing, not flying - she lacks both the necessary certification and access
to a runway. Still, listening to four Merlins from the inside is quite an
experience).

See http://www.lincsaviation.co.uk/lancaster_nx611_'just_jane'.cfm and
http://www.lincsaviation.co.uk/home.cfm for an update on her recent history.

This Lancaster NX611 went to the French Navy, then became G-ASXX in
1964 for the Historic Aircraft Preservation Society. Delivered to
Biggin Hill 1965. Was a gate guard at RAF Scampton 1974 to 1982 and
moved to the Aviation Heritage Centre in 1988. Restored to taxy
condition 1995 as "Just Jane".
