The Avro Lancaster is a British four-engined Second World War heavy bomber designed and built by Avro for the Royal Air Force (RAF). It first saw active service with RAF Bomber Command in 1942 and, as the strategic bombing offensive over Europe gathered momentum, it became the main heavy bomber used by the RAF, the RCAF, and squadrons from other Commonwealth and European countries serving within the RAF, overshadowing its close contemporaries the Handley Page Halifax and Short Stirling.[1] The "Lanc", as it was affectionately known,[2] thus became the most famous and most successful of the Second World War night bombers, "delivering 608,612 tons of bombs in 156,000 sorties."[3]

Back during the war, my Grandfather was a bomb loader, and machine gun maintenance officer on Lancasters. He had a painting of a pair of them up on his wall at home, one of the very few things about the war that he had on display. He loved those old birds, and he shared his love with me. He's gone now, but every time I see a picture of a Lancaster it reminds me of him, and brings a smile.

Really nice !

One crashed close to my home in Normandy during WW2 near "Falaise's cauldron" where German army was destroyed.
7 crew members were killed. It was flying too low, thinking it was above friendly area....but german flack was there.

In a perimeter of 3km, a P38 ligthning, a Boston A20 and a Hurricane are there too...

Nice work.

Interesting angle - as you can see the starboard side of the number 1 engine, straight on to number 2 and port side of the fuselage, 3 & 4 engines.

looking straight on to no2 eng, landing gear and wheel would imply its flying straight towards you, yes/no??? maybe some crazy lense/angle thing. or that the viewer/point of view is directly in the landing path.
