You may be thinking what this journey is about for which a businessman
has paid £43,000 and he is willing to pay more; it is not an ordinary flight
but a memorable Lancaster Bomber trip from Canada to UK. IT businessman Matthew
Munson has won the bidding war on eBay for the respect put up for grabs by the
Warplane Heritage Museum in Ontario, which will help finance a month long
memorial tour next month. Munson said that he is in love with all mechanical
things including cars, trains and planes; in this case, the aircraft’s
statistics such as cruising speed (210mph), service ceiling (25,700 ft),
maximum speed (275mph), range (2,530 miles) and more specifically, Engine (4 x
Packard Merlin 224) inspired me a lot. The bidding was at $79,000 and Munson
limited himself to $83,000, the final bid was closed at $79,100 when he got a
call from the Canadian museum.
