The Lancaster is the most famous and successful RAF heavy Bomber of World War Two. It is a legend that lives on today and the contribution made by the aircraft and its crews to the freedom of our nation will, hopefully, never be forgotten. An impressive 7, 377 Lancaster were built between 1941 and early 1946. Of these, some 3, 500 were lost on operations.
The Royal Air Force Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (RAF-BBMF) is administratively part of the Royal Air Force No 1 Group and operates from RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire. They have Spitfires, Hurricanes, a Lancaster and Dakota as well as Chipmunks in the flight.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the tail and rear gun turret of the BBMFs Avro Lancaster Thumper Mk III, a true icon of World War Two. The Lancaster bomber holds an esteemed place in history as the most renowned and successful RAF heavy Bomber. Its legendary status lives on today, reminding us of the invaluable contribution made by this aircraft and its brave crews to secure our nation's freedom. With an impressive production count of 7,377 between 1941 and early 1946, it is important to remember that over half did not return from their operations, with approximately 3,500 lost. This somber statistic serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during wartime. The Royal Air Force Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (RAF-BBMF), based at RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire, proudly operates this magnificent Lancaster alongside other iconic planes such as Spitfires, Hurricanes, Dakota aircrafts, and Chipmunks. These historic aircraft are regularly seen at events commemorating World War II as well as British State occasions like Trooping the Colour - a celebration marking Queen Elizabeth II's birthday. Cpl Phil Major RAF skillfully captured this image which beautifully encapsulates both the power and elegance embodied by this remarkable piece of aviation history.
