Hi all
Surprised to see this thread pop up. Amazing photo of the mast tower. The tower itself, according to one of the operators who was at the top shortly before the crash, was originally going to be shipped out to South America as part of an oil rig.At the outbreak of war got pressed into service as a Radar tower. This was the first time the crew had taken LM720 on a raid, their regular aircraft went on to be one of the few Lanc’s to do over 100 Ops.
