Originally built as a Mk.10 in May 1945. Converted into a Mk.10MR circa 1952 and retired circa 1955. Sold surplus in 1960 and moved to Nanton where it was on display next to the main north south highway for many years in front of the location where later the Bomber Command Museum of Canada was built.. When that was finished it moved inside and after an extensive restoration the Lancaster is now the star exhibit at the museum.
