There are two Lancaster Bombers flying in the world today. Lest you think this is No. 3; here is what has happened.
The Mynarski Memorial Lancaster; KB726 VRA was restored with a central fuselage component from Lancaster KB895; WLO; "Lady Orchid". To celebrate this; and for this year only The Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum has re-painted the Lancaster with KB895 livery on the port side; and painted the spinners blue as they were on that aircraft; and moved the Mynarski Memorial Plaque to the starboard side and has the KB726/VRA registration on that side.
On a right to left pass; KB895/WLO is seen; and in a left to right pass; the old KB726/VRA is seen.
