Hello, I have found this nearby to a known MKII Lancaster bomber crash site, just north of Paris.
Is anybody able to help identify whether or not this is part of the wreckage, and if so what part it is? Thank you!
Hello everyone,
You will find on my site, the story of a slice of life of a Canadian navigator, whose Lancaster crashed in 1944 in a field of the Marne. In fact, my investigation began by chance with a memory of my late father, and ended in a surprising way...

As a keen aviation photographer for over 45 years starting in the 1970's I mainly used either Kodak or Agfa 35 mm colour slide film. A recent decision to digitally convert/transfer the best of many thousands taken has meant going through box after box of slides and its proved to be a real trip...

First post - I have a question that google can't answer (might be i'm looking in the wrong places, but so far it's not helped).
I've joined a couple of chaps working on a faithful mod of a Lancaster for DCS, a popular combat flight sim. I'm currently figuring out the navigators...
Hello all, I've just joined although I am no longer a plastic modeller. I did start a long time ago when Airfix first brought out the Spitfire in a poly bag with a folded card at the top, I bought my first one from Woolworths for 2 shillings ( 10p in new money).
My reason for joining is that I...

Hello everyone - I’m hoping someone can help me identify this adjustable lamp, please? I’ve been told it was used in the tail turret of an Avro Lancaster, but have been unable to verify elsewhere.
I have found archive photographs of navigators at work, but their adjustable lamps - though...
I have read a number of histories of the Avro Shackleton that state that the Shackleton had a wider fuselage than the Lancaster / Lincoln to give more room for the increased electronics fit plus extra room for the crew on the longer patrol missions.
Question. Does anyone have any data on...

A few months after the crash someone found a turret with gunner in a field. Someone else told me that he took some parts from the turret.

Hi all. I was wondering who made the Avro Lancaster smooth tread tyres, and if any manufacturer logo appeared on the sidewalls? I've Googled several walk around a and period photos buy none are clear enough to show any detail on the tyres. Stupidly, I was at Hendon last year and saw PO*S but...

Hi all, I hope someone on here can help me find my fathers war record. I believe he was a flight engineer and I'm sure (almost) that his plane was Lancaster PB226, I think he may have been in 460 squadron, an Aussi squad I believe. His name was Douglas Adair. Many thanks in advance for any...
