There are neew updates to the pages showing progress on KA114:

The aicraft looks to have an extra plexiglass fairing behind the main bomb aimers transparency which does not appear on earlier Lancasters. Does that provide a clue?

Compare & contrast with “Das Boot”….

“Battle of Britain then & Now” has a list off all B of B pilots. There are two Spencers, but neither have the initials you are looking for.

Further to above, I found the original auction entry from last year. As you can see the original estimate was well out:

Lot Number 321

Description A group of five World War II medals awarded to F/Lt Albert William Edward Peter Cartwright 1382479 RAF to include; Distinguished Flying Cross(copy), Distinguished Flying Medal(copy), 1939-1945 Star, The Defence Medal and War Medal together with riband bars, two Flying Log Books, Photo Album covering his period with 106 Bomber Squadron, Instruction Manuals, Photos and Newspapers Cuttings relating to 106 Bomber Squadron, Donald Campbell, Guy Gibson, BBC News Cameraman’s Work and Award, Family and related material and artefacts Estimate – 200-300

“Thanks for the replys, at some stage though, someone must have put a figure on the cost of each aircraft, “

I have spent twenty years working on aircraft contracts with MoD and I can tell you that they would still be hard pressed to figure the cost per aircraft due to issues such as ELS, set up costs paid separately etc etc.

What kind of series was Airline. Drama, comedy, etc???

Newly-discharged from the RAF after World War II, Jack Ruskin, a blunt no-nonsense Yorkshireman, decides to set up his own airline, Ruskin Air Services. Something of an idealist, Jack is prepared to bend every rule in the book to achieve his goal of flying a Dakota once again. He soon does a deal with Ernie Cade, a notorious spiv who can lay his hands on any item of war surplus – for the right price – and then enlists Peter Witney as co-pilot and Jock McEvoy as maintenance engineer. But his long absences start to put a strain on his relationship with Jennie, his girlfriend.
