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".

Sure looks like one. :-)

That car on the extreme right - is that a Wolseley 24/80???
My flying instructor had one of those back in the 60's.
I had at one time a Wolseley 1500 - sweetest little car I ever owned - I
still kick myself for selling it. :-/

Courting my lady in a Wolseley 1500.

Good god,
I too had a 1500 Wolseley but mine had a much modified MGA engine and 4
speed gearbox in it and it was fitted with a HK (1968) series Holden rear
axle assembly.
I too remember my courting days in my Wolseley but the car, like the girl I
was courting is long gone now.
As I remember, both went pretty damned well too!

Hi Jeff
My old girl (the car that is) was just stock standard Wolseley 1500.
You must have been a bit of a rev-head. ;-)
I cant imagine doing donuts in a 1500.
Gosh, I can still remember the engine number 15WAULA6031 - hows that for
over fourty years ago!
(Dont ask me what happened yesterday!! thats too hard)

My old girl (the wife that is) still goes pretty damn well too! ;-p

Cheers
Graham
