Nice pics! This is my first post and I am a huge Lanc fan. Unfortunatley I miss seeing her in Edmonton as I had just got home from holidays and only heard that she was there on the 11:00 news and they just showed it taking off and leaving.
As for if there is any Lancs in the US the answer is yes. A private collector in Florida has a full plane and I think a partial airframe of another.
The Calgary Lancaster is only for display and is at a museum in the city. The Lancaster that catch22 is refering to is located in Nanton Alberta south of Calgary and yes they do have the 2 starboard engines the inside port engine being rebuilt. I don't believe they will ever make her airworthy again but they will have all four merlins running which is pretty cool IMHO.
For more info on the surviving Lancs go to Nanton Lancaster Society Air Museum .
Cheers

Thanks for the post, nice pictures. I saw her fly in the early 90's at a Wings Over Houston airshow. It was exciting to see her fly. She is a regular at Thunder over Michigan if anyone wants to see her in action.

Great pics! 
My first thought, though, was that that civilian liner is one dead duck.... (post#1, pic#8)

Those are some great pictures. I never seen that many pictures of a Lancaster. I might have to steal those for a future build. Thanks for the tour
