‘Lancaster’ is told through the words of the last surviving crew members, re-mastered archive material and extraordinary aerial footage of the RAF’s last airworthy Lancaster. Responsible for some of the most famous and infamous missions in WW2 history, from the Dambuster raids to the controversial bombing of Dresden, the Lancaster would help turn the tide of war. But there was a deadly price to be paid. 55,000 young men – half of all Bomber Command’s aircrew – died over Nazi occupied Europe. Their average age was just 22. ‘Lancaster’ is an epic and poignant story of courage, fear, friendship and the moral complexities of war. Directed by David Fairhead and Ant Palmer, their joint interviews of 38 veterans form the emotional and deeply moving core of the film.

Thanks Geoff,
There was an article in Aeroplane not so long ago but I’d forgotten about it until I read your post.
I can’t see it playing in any cinema around here – hardly surprising when the Greater Manchester area had little to do with the design, development and production of the Lanc….
I expect it will turn up on the telly at some point.
