Morning guys
Can anybody here shed any details on the Lancaster pictured below with what appears to be the partial serial no NX73? This and another couple of shots of the same Lancaster appear in what predominantly looks like a German photo album currently available on eBay here. However, it looks more like a post-war shot to me and the guys posing in front look and on it look more like RAF personnel too.
Any thoughts appreciated 🙂

Many thanks for the swift response guys 🙂 I agree, it is indeed an interesting album, albeit covering quite different and possibly unrelated topics…

Suggest BVII NX738 of 40 squadron, coded BL-C. Based at Abu Sueir & Shallufa, Egypt 1946-47.

Very interesting album!
Certainly a postwar Tiger force Lancaster ,my guess NX731 from the shadow visible,with a code that looks like C at a base somewhere in North Africa where they also had plenty of aircraft in packing cases so probably somewhere where they were put together and air tested, a major maintenance depot
