Durham Tees Valley Airport, United Kingdom<br />
<br />
One of only two remaining flying Avro Lancaster bombers visits Durham Tees Valley airport today. <br />
<br />
The aircraft, 'Mynarski' is named after Pilot Officer Andrew Mynarski who flew with the Canadian Royal Air Force from the airport which was then called RAF Middleton St George.<br />
<br />
Pilot Officer Mynarski was posthumously awarded a VC after giving his life while trying to save a colleague when their Lancaster was shot down in June 1944.<br />
<br />
The famous World War Two aircraft is owned by the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum and is beginning a 2-week tour of the UK.<br />
