Lancaster KB976 Section 8 - To British Aerospace, Woodford

The aircraft was transported by road in April 1987 to British Aerospace's Woodford Aerodrome, Cheshire SK7 1QS, for a planned rebuild to flying condition. The majority of Lancasters built in the UK during the war years were manufactured by Avro at their factory
at Chadderton, near Oldham, Greater Manchester, and then assembled and test flown from Woodford Aerodrome in Cheshire.
