French Lancaster

RE: French Lancaster

Hi Peter,thanks for the pics 🙂 If I remember rightly,this Lanc crashed on an island in the Pacific,but I can’t find any other details.Can anyone fill me in?Was it a crash or was she written off in a heavy landing?One or two of those undercarriage mounting brackets certainly look a touch bent!

Thanks in advance 🙂

I bet some idiot will compalin its not in green and brown. I’m glad too see what must be the only non WW2 Lanc in Europe. Its a shame that it did so much as well as being a bomber, but the “other lancs” get overlooked.

Couldnt add this pic at the same time as the other one

Excellent picture, thank you, and I like the French Blue too-she looks good like that. It’s when they get the colours of the camoflage all wrong that I don’t like it…

RE: French Lancaster

Thanks for the post Roger,she’s looking good!I’m just thinking she’d go down a storm at Cockpitfest :).Not sure I agree with you on the pale colour scheme,that deep blue looks rather tasty to me.
