Thank you for the good wishes but you really didn't have to send your heat wave over here! It is supposed to get to 35C today but feel like the mid-40's with the humidity. OTOH, most folks have air conditioning so it is not that bad.

The Royal Canadian Air Force Snowbirds team visited the Canadian Warplane Heirtage Museum a couple of weeks ago. Pictured is part of the team with the Museum's Avro Lancaster bomber. The Lanc is one of only two in the world in flying condition. You can even pay to get a ride in the Lanc (if you have deep pockets). The Museum is in Hamilton, Ontario, and is well worth a visit:

Ohhhhh, it's VERA!

She's currently the only airworthy Lancaster in the world. Our Lanc (PA 474) is currently in bits as she is undergoing quite hefty routine maintenance at Duxford, hopefully back next year. PA 474 came back home for her 80th birthday last year, to the airfield where she was built in 1945 - there wasn't a dry eye in the house when those big old wheels touched down.
