July 16, 2024 @ 6:30 pm – 9:00 pm
Don’t miss Reunion of Giants, documenting Lancaster C-GVRA’s flight from Hamilton to the UK where it met up with the other only airworthy Lancaster in the world.
Tuesday, July 16 at 6:30 pm.
In 2014, the last two airworthy WWII Lancaster Bombers reunited over England to make history.
A war relic from Canada crossed the Atlantic to meet her counterpart in the UK and for the first time in 50 years, two Lancasters shared the sky for a reunion tour.
The Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum Lancaster, VeRA, flew from Hamilton to the UK to meet Thumper, operated by the Royal Air Force. It was a mission unlike any other this Lancaster and her flight crew had ever undertaken. Two legendary bombers, separated by time and distance, met in Bomber County to fly together, this time in peace.
The reunion was also a farewell tour to veterans of Bomber Command, who are so entwined in their proud history. These marvels of mechanical engineering are part of a proud lineage credited with bringing an end to WWII.
The documentary features first-hand accounts from those connected to the bomber during the war, transporting us back in time as they share their memories of the Lancaster’s glory days.
Runtime: 90 minutes with Q&A to follow
