I remember seeing it there a couple of times if I remember it correctly. Any idea when it lost is licence to fly or what ever its correctly called.

My Dad used to be in the RAF, and worked on the Tornado squadron that's next to the BBMF. He was good mates with the guys who ran the BBMF and managed to get my Mum on to the Lancaster on one of it's flights around the county. She sat in the turret on the top.
