Avro Lancaster XPP Trans Canada Airlines
An aircraft for FS98 by Keith Clifford/Pegasus Aviation Design

(Use Wordrap to view)

This aircraft, CF-CNA fleet number 108, was one of nine Lancaster XPP's used
by Trans Canada Airlines in transatlantic service. The Lancs operated from 1945 to
1947 when they were replaced by Canadair North Stars. CF-CNA became G-AKDS when she was sold
to Flight Refuelling Limited. She flew hundreds of sorties hauling fuel during the Berlin
Airlift. She and several of her sisters were scrapped afterwards as they were worn out from
the airlift.


Features include animated propellers, flaps and landing gear. A checklist
is also provided.
