In 1963 a Lancaster bomber crashed on Wallis Island, a 1 in the South Pacific, a long way west of Samoa. The plane wasn ’t too badly damaged, but over the years, the crash was forgotten and the wreck remained 2 . Then in 1989, twenty-six years after the crash, the plane was accidentally rediscovered in an aerial survey of the island. By this time, a Lancaster bomber in 3 was rare and worth rescuing. The French authorities had the plane packaged and moved in parts back to France. Now a group of enthusiasts are going to have the plane restored. It has four Rolls-Royce Merlin engines, but the group will need to have only three of them rebuilt. Imagine their 4 when they broke open the packing cases and found that the fourth engine was sweet as honey -- still in perfect condition. A colony of bees had turned the engine into a hive and it was 5 in beeswax!
