MailOnline was granted exclusive access to film while flying alongside the Canadian Lancaster bomber. Stunning footage shows the iconic aircraft soaring above the UK in what will be one of its final ever flights. Video was shot while flying in a small aircraft just feet away from the world's second only airworthy Lancaster . 

For the 55,000 brave aircrew who lost their lives in the Second World War, it would have been their final view of England, soaring high above the North Lincolnshire countryside. In tribute, one of the world's last two airworthy Lancasters takes the same route over Bomber Country - where some 389,000 sorties were flown by Bomber Command between 1939 and 1945. This moving footage is captured from a light aircraft flying alongside the 69ft-long Canadian bomber, flying in formation much how the legendary bombers would have done more than 70 years ago...
