Most readers will know that BBMF Lancaster PA474 is due to undergo a ‘Major’ maintenance programme under contract with the Aircraft Restoration Company (ARCo) at Duxford, commencing this month and planned to take 18 months. The extensive work scheduled to be carried out on the 80-year-old Lancaster to keep her flying into the future was detailed for Club members in the RAF Memorial Flight Official Club 2025 Autumn Journal magazine.

This month one lucky Club member will win this stunning print of the Lancaster, courtesy of our friends at Flight Art. We will randomly select one winner who will receive the prize.
