ONE of the last two airworthy Lancaster bombers is to take to the skies above the Gedling Show this weekend.
It was expected that both would make the trip - but it was confirmed on Friday that the Canadian Lancaster had suffered engine problems.
The British Lancaster will still be taking part in the flypast and residents should be able to see the plane above Radcliffe Golf Club, in Dewberry Lane, heading towards Gedling over the A52 at around 3.30pm.
The plane will be flying at around 1,000 feet and is called Thumper.
