Description

The Avro Lancaster entered service with the RAF in 1942 and became one of the most successful night bombers of the war.  The Lancaster was also used by Argentina, Australia, Canada, Egypt, France, New Zealand, and Poland.

There were several adaptations of the Lancaster including the Upkeep 'bouncing bomb' special for the Dambuster raid, and versions made to carry the Tallboy and Grand Slam bombs.

The Lancaster was armed with 8 x 7.7 mm machine guns in 3 turrets, and 14,000 lb of bombs as standard.  A single Tallboy bomb of 12,000 lb, Grand Slam of 22,000 lb, or Upkeep of 9,250 lb were carried in the Special versions.

This example is a Lancaster B.I of the Argentine Air Force 1948.

Didn't knew about the Argentinian Lancasters... I did knew about the Lincolns (there's one in the air force museum). So I have learned something today
You do an excellent work in your gallery by the way
