Thanks for that David Layne, I never knew that he was married and lost his son a month before the raid. Tragic.

Thanks should go to Dom Howard who constructed the site.

Here is the image reversed.

I see 42 and perhaps Royal Air. Any suggestions as to what this picture represents? In 1942 my father was with 50 Squadron and 50 Squadron Conversion Flight, 9 Conversion Flight and 1661 HCU.

Great. I would like to visit the museum. I didn’t know they had a Lancaster in such a state of restoration.

Does anyone know anymore about Flying Officer Frank Herbert Townsend 18524 and Flying Officer Vernon Brittain Gray 163207?

Thanks. May I suggest you do a “left to right” or “right to left” for those of us that are not familiar with ranks.

It really is an outstanding photograph and makes me wonder if it was the aircraft my father came home on.

A nice bit of fun. I see Snoopy was jumping a Para Commander parachute when he was shot down.

Boeing has celebrated 50 years since it delivered its last B-52 Stratofortress to the US Air Force.

Of 744 B-52s built between 1952 and 1962, H-model 61-040 was assigned to Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota where it remains in active service. It has logged more than 21,500 flight hours.

The USAF currently has 76 H-model B-52s in service, with two test aircraft at Edwards Air Force Base and the remaining aircraft at both Minot AFB and Barksdale AFB in Louisiana.
