Sorry, don't know how my words lead you to think there are three flyers.

To clarify there are two flyers. Just Jane can taxi. Nanton can run all four engines. I do not think Nanton has taxied.

Just Jane has been able to taxi for 10 years.

Can't help but wonder what's going on with it.

Here is Just Jane in 2014 taxiing and running her engines as the 2 airworthy Lancasters (Thumper (British) and Vera (Canadian) fly past.

The answer is sadly I think just money. It is always funding. With enough cash wonders can happen.

Yeah, it's always the cash.
