Lancaster bomber F104 arrived at its new home at the B.C. Aviation Museum near Victoria International Airport on Saturday. The aircraft was built in Toronto in 1944 and was in service until 1966. It then stood on display near the Toronto lakeshore for more than 30 years before being put in storage. In July, the B.C. Aviation Museum won its bid for the bomber, which it plans to restore to flying condition with the help of Victoria Air Maintenance, an internationally known firm of aircraft restorers. Only two other Lancasters in the world are in flying condition, according to the museum.
