Rick Mercer at the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum

Put aside seven minutes to watch this one...

Canadian comedian and TV personality Rick Mercer visited the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum in Hamilton in 2015 for a flight on 'Vera', one of only two remaining airworthy Lancasters in the world.  The video features fantastic viewpoints from the air bomber's and mid-upper air bomber's positions!

This particular Lancaster has been modified to carry paying passengers so the layout of the cockpit is different from the aircraft flown by the Harris Crew.  The Lancasters flown by the Harris Crew had one pilot, with the engineer, wireless operator and navigator positioned behind and below him.
