[edit] Date of conversion

Check the dating of that first conversion; Encyclopedia of World Aircraft (David Donald, ed, Orbis, 1997) has it 1942 by Victory on a Lanc 3, eval xTCA, later went to Avro for more work including extra tank. Also, re Stardust (Star Dust?), I've seen a TV doc that names her Captain as Reginald North. Trekphiler 07:28, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] First flight

Do we know the exact date of first flight? Drutt (talk) 13:51, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

The first conversion Lancastrian Mk I was G-AGLF which had a certificate of airworthiness issued on 7 February 1945. Dont know the first flight date but presumably shortly before. MilborneOne (talk) 14:46, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
