It was at the Cold Lake Airshow this weekend.

The only Lancaster I have seen fly, it came over my mothers house at just the moment we stepped out of her house to go to her ex RAF brothers funeral. Her house wasnt even on the flight path to Middleton St George (Andrew Mynarski's home field), only strong head winds made it so. It was certainly an emotional experience, like a farewell salute.

Vera dropped in to Saskatchewan Aviation Museum (Saskatoon) for a few hours. Over a thousand people came out to honour it and Lancaster pilot Reg Harrison (101years, 19 missions). Also had the Canso (PBY Catalina) from Fairview Alberta at the museum.
