i am perfectly aware that lancaster bombers were involved in the dams raid ….. but doesn’t the same story apply to all the lancasters built – not just those converted for the dams raid ?

They did make parts of the wing leading edge for Spitfire’s at Rackstraw’s in Castle Street, Worcester.
But knowing the ‘Worcester News’ and some of there terrible stories and reporting, The next headline will be ‘Douglas Baders Spitfire made in Worcester’ :highly_amused:

It’s a small parochial newspaper. They never seem to check their facts at the best of times and it’s a very tenuous link. There were probably lots of other dispersed sites producing the canopies all over the UK. Lanc’s were being produced in the area at both Longbridge and Castle Bromwich, but small firms such as Perfecta in Birmingham produced the canopies for Mosquitos, and they weren’t even assembled locally in the Midlands.
