    VE80LAN - Canada - AVRO Lancaster

    VE80LAN special event station will be active from various locations in Canada, commemorating 80th Anniversary of the AVRO Lancaster.
    On the 2nd March 1942 Avro Lancaster aircraft of 44 Sqn took off from RAF Waddington, England, on their 1st Operational sortie to deploy naval mines in Heligoland Bight. The Lancaster went on to become the mainstay of the Royal Air Force Bomber Command. British, Canadian and Australian pilots were part of this.

    7377 aircraft were built at 10 different locations in the UK and Canada. The Canadian Warplane Museum has the only flying Lancaster in North America. The main picture show the 2 Lancasters flying in Great Britain when VERA made the flight to England.

    The Canadian effort is put on the Radio Room of the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum VA3CWM.

    We will be on at various locations and time, with our brothers from Great Britain and Australia, at different times and modes. (Schedule to be finalized as yet) Echolink on TechLink 9229 will be on every Friday night in March at 8 pm local time on what is the regular TechLink World Wide. Also we start off on Echolink on March 1st 7am local EST with all 3 Countries, that is 12:00 UTC.

    Hope to see you on the bands.
