This AVRO Lancaster, BX FM 213, owned and flown by the Canadian Warplanes Heritage Museum is about to land at the Reading, Pennsylvania Mid Atlantic Air Museums airfield for the 20th Anniversary of the WWII Weekend. Lancaster BX FM 213 was retired from active duty with the RCAF on 6 November 1963, then stored at Dunnville, Ontario. FM 213 had 4,392.3 hours on the airframe when it was handed over. It would probably have been sold for scrap metal except for the intervention of The Royal Canadian Legion in Goderich. The aircraft was acquired by the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum in 1978, underwent a 10-year restoration, and has remained airworthy since 1988. The aircraft is flown in the paint scheme of KB 726 VR-A, depicting an aircraft of No. 419 Squadron RCAF, and is known as the 'Mynarski Memorial Lancaster' in honor of Canadian VC recipient Andrew Mynarski. The aircraft was grounded due to corrosion found in the propeller blades but after an appeal for funding it flew again in May 2009.
