Nice shots!
Interesting to see these. Noumea-Tontouta is on New Caledonia and was the site of the last active Lancasters in military service (other than the RAF BBMF, that is). The Aeronavale Sqn 9S was there with its last three Lancasters, until their retirement in 1964. This wreckage is the remains of one of two possible aircraft, either WU27 formerly TW651, or WU41, formerly TW928, both Lancaster Mk.Is. Both were scrapped at Tontouta, WU27 was withdrawn from service in early 1963.
The Panton Brothers' Lancaster Just Jane at East Kirkby, Mk.VII NX655 was formerly with Sqn 9S and wore WU15. It was one of the last three 9S Lancasters.

The first of these major operations was on the night of 10th/11th June, when seven Lancasters, a mix of MK.Is and MK.IIIs, left Tuddenham to bomb rail facilities at Dreux – 90 Sqn had at last returned to the 'front line.'
Sadly it was not to be the best night for the squadron, of the seven Lancasters that departed, two never returned home. The first NE149 'WP-A' and the second NE177 'WP-B' (both MK.IIIs), crashing in France. Of the fourteen airmen on board, three evaded capture, one was caught, and the remaining ten were all killed – it was not the most auspicious start for the unit. January 2021 – Aviation Trails

Lancaster B-1 NX569 SR-W Radio Jammer RAF Ludford Magna
101 Squadron Lancasters were in 1943 equipped with a top secret radio jamming system codenamed "Airborne Cigar" (ABC) operated by an eighth crew member who could understand German, some with German or Jewish backgrounds known as "special operators" commonly abbreviated to "spec ops" or "SO". They sat in a curtained off area towards the rear of the aircraft and located and jammed German fighter controller's broadcasts, occasionally posing as controllers to spread disinformation. The aircraft fitted with the system were distinctive due to the two large vertical antennae rising from the middle of the fuselage. Deliberately breaking the standing operating procedure of radio silence to conduct the jamming made the aircraft highly vulnerable to being tracked and attacked, which resulted in 101 Squadron having the highest casualty rate of any RAF squadron.
