Just to add there are two pictures of R5868 at Waddington during the late 1944 RIW rebuild in the latest edition of Norman Frank’s “Ton- up Lancs” One shows the airframe minus engines and nose section, on jacks and trolley, the other shows the nose resting on the ground nearby. The nose was transported to Bracebridge Heath where two images were taken showing the visit of Sir Stafford Cripps, Minister of Aircraft Production with Avro directors on September 11th 1944.
