Avro Lancaster PA474

This plane is such a vital part of our national heritage. It's one of only two remaining airworthy Lancasters (the other is in Canada).

These planes were shot down in the thousands in WW2 with the loss of the lives of countless RAF airmen. The crews of Lancasters had some of the lowest survival chances of any detail in the war, often taking off in planes still full of holes from being peppered with flak in the previous raid. The book 'Tail End Charlies' gives some insight into the risks and stresses faced by these incredibly brave men.

This is a beautiful plane to see fly. But in WW2 a Lancaster fresh off the production line was lucky to last a few weeks before being destroyed by the enemy. May this aircraft remain flying as a memorial for a long time to come.
