Fred panton the co owner of east kirkby aviation centre and lancaster just jane passed away on sunday the 9th of june. The sad thing is that they are working to get her flying again within the next two years.
I well remember seeing their old Lancaster when it was a tatty old gate guard outside RAF Scampton. It's such a shame that the Panton family have worked so hard to restore it and create their wonderful museum and poor old Fred won't see the ultimate result of all their work, another flying Lancaster.
