The A.V. Roe (Canada) Ltd. Lancaster Mk. X (AR), formerly registered as RCAF Serial KB976 was flown from Canada to the U.K. in the early 1970's to become part of the famous Strathallan Museum collection of vintage and veteran aircraft. Unfortunately it was badly damaged following the collapse of a hangar roof at RAF Woodford. Last I heard - some years ago - it was being held in storage at Kermit Weeks' "Fantasy of Flight" collection in Polk City, Florida, following his purchase of the airframe. What it's current status is or if Kermit, who owns one of the largest private airplane museums in the world, intends to restore it to static or airworthy condition is unknown to me. Having been involved in the restoration of a Lanc at the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum some years ago, I can tell you it's a very big project indeed.

no idea, Lincolnshire has a few old plances, at Waddington or Scampton.
Just over the Atlantic
There are a few in museums across england but the only one capable of flight is in RAF Coningsby, Linconshire.
I'm not sure but as of January 19th of this year, the Lancaster was caught flying over Huntingdon in England. It was spotted from space by the Google Earth Community.
The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight has a Lancaster, a Hurricane and a Spitfire, I think the only airworthy Lanc in the UK is this one, do a web search on the flight and it should tell you a) where the plane is and b) what shows it will appear at this year. Lovely plane, they look beautiful!
Have you checked the Air Force Museum in Fairborn (outside Dayton), Ohio? They have aircraft on static display.
probably in an aircraft museum
The 'City of Lincoln' Lancaster of the BBMF (Battle of Britian Memorial Flight) is located at RAF Coningsby in Lincoln. If you still have the magazine displaying the Lancaster in question you may well see the Aircraft Squadron recognition ensignia on the side of the fuselage. This should identify the aircraft, perhaps the folks of the Lancaster Association may be able to help you further, try the following web address http//www.pa474.fg.co.uk./
Wasn't that Lancaster making its last flight? I believe it went into a museum somewhere near Cambridge.
