Parts of KB994, and the nose section of KB976 (sold in 1990 to Warbirds of GB, some parts later reported as being sold in 1992 to Kermit Weeks in Florida. The remains of KB994 were sold to Aces High, becoming G-BVBP on 4 August 1993. They sold them in 1997, and they are now in Australia with the Avro Bomber Preservation Association, to be used in the recreation of an Avro Lincoln based on major parts of RF342/G-APRJ. (It seems that KB976 (which became G-BCOH) swapped its front fuselage section with that of KB994 in order to replace the "long nose" then fitted to KB976.)

This Lancaster was built by Victory Aircraft Ltd at Malton, ON and was delivered to 425 'Alouette' Squadron, RCAF in May 1945 but just too late to take part in offensive operations. She was then placed in to storage but served briefly in 1952 with 404 Maritime Patrol Squadron, RCAF at Greenwood, NS. It is the most complete Lancaster X in existence, remaining very close to its wartime condition, and is now on display at the Canada Aviation & Space Museum.

This Lanc was built by Victory Aircraft Ltd at Malton, ON and arrived in England during Jan. 1945 to serve with 428 Squadron. Post-war she returned to Canada and was used for a while as a Firebee drone mothership before being scrapped. At least the nose has survived and is on display beside an elevated walkway so visitors can see inside the cockpit, at the Canada Aviation & Space Museum.
