Of the 17 surviving and largely intact Lancasters known to exist, two are airworthy: [[Avro Lancaster PA474|PA474]] is a Lancaster B.I operated by the [[Battle of Britain Memorial Flight]], based at [[RAF Coningsby]] in [[Lincolnshire]], UK; [[Avro Lancaster FM213|FM213]], named the "Mynarski Memorial Lancaster" and painted with VR-A (nicknamed VeRA) to honour [[Andrew Mynarski]], is a Lancaster B.X operated by the [[Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum]] in [[Hamilton, Ontario]], Canada.

Two other Lancasters exist with working engines, though not airworthy; like the airworthy pair, these are also found one each in Britain and Canada. The B MkVII ''Just Jane'', NX611, is based in the [[East Kirkby]] [[Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre]], just {{convert|9|miles}} east-northeast of PA474 at RAF Coningsby; it is able to taxi but is not airworthy, though there have been plans to eventually return it to flight. The [[Bomber Command Museum of Canada]], in [[Nanton, Alberta]], is home to FM159, nicknamed Bazalgette, which has been restored from a vandalised state and is able to taxi under its own power.

In 2014, the two airworthy Lancasters (Canadian FM213 and British PA474) toured the UK in a series of joint aerial and ground displays.<ref>[http://www.raf.mod.uk/news/archive/raf-bbmf-to-host-canadian-warplane-heritage-museum-lancaster-during-visit-to-england-24022014 "RAF BBMF to host Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum Lancaster during visit to England."] ''RAF/MoD website News'', 24 February 2014.

In 2017, after more than 50 years on display in [[Edmundston, New Brunswick]], Lancaster KB 882 moved to the [[National Air Force Museum of Canada]] in [[Trenton, Ontario]], where it is to be restored and placed alongside the museum's restored [[RAF]] [[Handley Page Halifax]] [[heavy bomber]], NA 337.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://airforcemuseum.ca/eng/?page_id=767|title=Lancaster KB882 – National Air Force Museum of Canada|date=11 August 2022 }}</ref>

For the 2018 flying season, to commemorate the 75th anniversary of Operation Chastise, the Canadian FM213 Lancaster was painted in the markings used by Guy Gibson's 617 Squadron aircraft (Code AJ-G, ED932) when he commanded the "Dambusters" raids.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.facebook.com/CanadianWarplaneHeritageMuseum/videos/10156123392711280/?t=9 |title=The Lancaster being pushed out of the... – Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum |via=www.facebook.com}}</ref>
