Re: Lancaster X (10MR)

Lancaster FM213 / C-GVRA has reached Europe. Landed safely at Meeks Field (Keflavík) Iceland and is hangared for the night. Will come for brief visit to Reykjavik tomorrow as well. At 21:25 in the evening, its getting kind of dark this time of year. Enjoy. https://www.flickr.com/photos/351332...ream/lightbox/

Added pictures from its Reykjavik visit yesterday, including some interior shots.
Safely crossed to UK this morning. Will head back in September.
