(NZ version of ebay)
Built 1945, retired to 9MU in 1957, was then moved to RAF West Mailing as a gate guard, and was then donated to the USAF in 1958. She was a museum piece at Wright-Patterson from 1961-1995 then popped up on the US civilian register in 1996 as N75460. First shipped to NZ in 1997 as a restoration project and has changed hands once since apparently due to lack of funds.
Could be a nice pet project for someone with some spare time at weekends and some space in the garden. 8-)

Actually it is a bit amusing. OTOH dropping a load of rotten eggs on the EU buildings from Lancaster bombers might cause even more of a stir in Europe...
Dambusters music in the background perhaps?
Eggs lack the required bounce :(
Unless theyre silly putty eggs!
