Looks like the BBMF Lancaster will be out of action for a while. She has suffered a reported engine fire.

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Heard about this earlier, seems to be worryingly similar to what happened to the Canadian Lanc last year. Hopefully she'll be flying again soon.

Canadian Lanc was the supercharger shredding itself. Appears this was a sustaining fire - oil or petrol sustained.
