Was in a butchers shop yesterday in Wakefield, and happened to notice behind the counter a picture of a Lancaster bearing the name Santa Azucar. The picture was of the front end, and of the crew, and it was the owners father who was one of the crew in the picture. He told me that it was based at a Yorkshire airfield.
Can anyone shed any further light on said aircraft?

Excellent. Many thanks.
That is indeed not too dissimilar to the pic in the shop, but in his the crew are stood under the nose art of the Lancaster.
If there are any more pics and other items of interest, including the crew names, then I would be most grateful.
