This photograph captures a moment frozen in time during the height of World War II, as a squadron of Avro Lancaster heavy bombers prepare to take off from a British airfield in 1942. The image shows one of the Lancasters with its engines already running, while a member of the aircrew stands on the port wing, likely carrying out final checks before departure.
In the background, more Lancasters can be seen lined up and ready to join this crucial mission. The scene is filled with an air of anticipation and determination as these powerful aircrafts gear up for their next operation.
