Very cool. I don't think there are many of those in flying condition.
Ten days ago I took my 3 year old son to the Canadian Warplane Heritage museum, which is a largely airworthy collection. We got to stand on the tarmac outside the hangar as they started up their Lancaster, then watched it taxi out and take off for an airshow near Detroit. We were maybe 30 yards from the aircraft, and when it turned to taxi away from us it felt like standing in a hurricane, with the noise and prop wash coming off those 4 Merlins. They came back around and buzzed the hangar at about 200 feet before turning for Detroit. It was absolutely amazing.
