Out of interest does anyone know if Lockheed Venturas were flown to the UK from the USA or where only shipped?

Some were ferried as this one was apparently lost in Newfoundland before the planned ferry flight.

This article has a photo of Liberators, Mitchells and Venturas at Doval, Quebec before starting the journey overseas.

Larry,

I presume that you are a member of A-B, in which case if you go into Peter Berry/Tom Macfadyen's North Atlantic ferry files on the AB-IX website you will find details of many Ventura transatlantic ferry flights.
