The movie "Reunion of Giants" traces the flight of Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum Lancaster, VeRA, from Hamilton, Ontario to meet her British counterpart, Thumper—the only other airworthy Lancaster in the world—operated by the Royal Air Force in England.
There were many compelling aspects to this story including a blown supercharger during flight which threatened the future of one of the aircraft, the emotive recounting of stories from Bomber Command veterans and the recognition of bravery and sacrifice in an era that had an immense influence on the world.
The video below shows a 3 minute synopsis. A DVD of the full length movie can be obtained here - http://www.warplane.com/gift-shop/dvds/reunion-of-giants.aspx
