Nice work so far. I always thought the York was a beautiful aircraft.
Beastly and noisy things to fly in, flew all the way back from Egypt to UK in one in 1956 as the Suez crisis broke to all of 14 house at no more than 8,000ft except over the French alps. just to clarify, I was 10 at the time.
 
Good stuff Bob. Note that the pic of the cockpit is (probably) PA474, the BBMF aircraft - the dual controls were not fitted to aircraft in service.
 
Great site Bob!

That last pic (captioned 'possibly one of the 8 that didn't make it back) isn't one of the B.III specials used in the dams raid. These weren't fitted with mid-upper turrets.
 
Beat me to it. Even if it was, it's been left lying around for a very long time, as there is snow on the ground!
Also noticed that the article is titled WW1 Dam Buster !!
 
'Dash it all Trubshaw, looks like the ruddy Red Baron is on our tail again!'

'Don't worry old boy! The bombs are gone, and Charlie's got his Frazer' at the ready - we'll soon give him a blast in the wotsits he won't forget, eh?!'
