AVRO LANCASTER 419 SQN. RCAF, VR-A (KB726)

In April 1944, 419 Squadron, Royal Canadian Air Force, began to convert from the Handley Page Halifax to the Avro Lancaster Mk.X. which was produced in Canada and flown across the Atlantic. It was with one of these that Pilot Officer A. C. Mynarski was posthumously awarded the Squadron's Victoria Cross for bravery in June 1944. Today there are only two Lancasters flying in the world, one in the UK and the other in Canada, which is FM213 (C-GVRA) and first flew again in 1988 with the Canadian Warplane Heritage at Mount Hope, Ontario. It is painted in the markings of KB726' coded "VR-A' of 419 Squadron as a tribute to this famous aircraft
