they are a great croud pleaser at airshows at the very least :diablo:

I hope they’ll be taking steps to ensure that doesn’t happen again.

(see what I did there?) 😮

i almost said that ha ha,

instead i will say, at least the photographer saw it coming. i bet he snook over there earlier n nudged the steps forward a couple feet :diablo:

Then it’s from the prototype and worth twice as much! :p

ive contacted them on how sure they are that it came from a Lanc, they said they had a top military expert advise them. not sure what they thought when i mentioned the 1942 issue??

technicaly it did enter service right at the end of 1941 though the chances of it being from a Lanc have got to be very remote

you have to watch out for all those items listed as from WW2 Spitfire or Lancaster as most small parts like clocks, knobs n dials etc could fit most aircraft of that time period. everyone on ebay seems to think they were the only aircraft in the fight!!!!
