It was calculated at the time that this aircraft could inflict more damage on the enemy that any other weapon produced by the same expenditure of man-hours and materials. Designed by Roy Chadwick and built by Avro, this superbly robust and reliable aircraft was developed from the disasterous two-engined Manchester and was introduced into service in 1942. This was the aircraft used by the crews of 49 and 576 squadrons whilst operating from Fiskerton. Side views of 49 & 576 Squadron lancasters, courtesy of Malcolm Barrass, Air of Authority.
