BBC South Today Evening News - 11th May 2026

This is the BBC South Today evening news coverage of Léon's Lancaster being moved from the Ellison family home in Bracknell up to MAVC on 11-12th May 2026.
This short video slideshow covers the move of the Lancaster Cockpit from its original home  up to MAVC in May. It is clear to see that this was a delicate and complex move so full credit to the team at Allelys for safely installing the Lancaster in the hangar at MAVC.
