Lancaster NX611 “Just Jane” could fly soon according to this BBC article. The four-engined bomber is currently only able to taxi and is regularly displayed to the public at the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre.

A fourth Merlin engine has been obtained for “Just Jane”, which was needed to make her fly again. The bomber belongs to brothers Fred and Harold Panton, who restored in memory of their brother, who was killed in a Lancaster in 1944.
