Bit of a long shot this one………..
At the Metheringham Airfield Visitors Centre we have a very large Lancaster model. The plan is to finish it as Lancaster III ‘ZN-A’ JB663 ‘King of the Air’ which flew from Metheringham with 106 Sqn between 1943-45 and went on to complete 110 missions.
Does anybody have any pictures (nose art in particular) other than those in the book, ‘In the middle of nowhere’, that they would be willing to lend?
Thanks
Mark

Many thanks for the advice guys, I will pass the info on to those who are organising it.

Worth trying the sources – a phone call to IWM and or RAF Museum photo archives – they often know what’s out there even if they don’t have it, and for a worthy cause…

Are you one of the volunteers as well then?
no, just a visitor…get along to listen to the guest speakers whenever my shifts allow.. :rolleyes:
as 682al noted the same picture appears in Lancaster at war 2, although its been cleaned up a bit and cropped – maybe if someone could locate the original you may be able to get it scanned and enhanced to make the nose art detail a bit clearer?

The same photo, of her air and ground crew after her 100th sortie, appears in Lancaster at War 2 and Claims To Fame.
I don’t think she was a well photographed aeroplane and you’ll struggle to come up with any more (from published sources).
Good luck!
