Are there any flyable Lancasters, Halifax or Stirlings these days?

I've seen many of the American World War II types at airshows or flying over my house (including B-17s and B-29s) but we don't get many British warbirds over here. A few years ago I did see a Griffon-engined Spitfire put on a demonstration. It was quite impressive, and I'm sure a Stirling buzzing the local airstrip would also attract some attention.
