EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Avro Lancaster B.I PP741 in storage after its disposal from active service, circa 1946. The Avro Lancaster, a legendary British heavy bomber used extensively during World War II, is depicted here with its distinctive bulged bomb-bay doors. These doors were a crucial modification to accommodate the Tallboy 12,000lb and 8,000lb Cookies, which expanded the Lancaster's bomb-carrying capacity and increased its destructive power. The Lancaster B.I, a variant of the original Lancaster design, was a formidable addition to the Royal Air Force's arsenal, playing a significant role in the strategic bombing campaign against Nazi Germany. As the war came to an end, the Lancaster fleet was gradually retired, and many were sent for storage or disposal. This image offers a poignant reminder of the Avro Lancaster's storied history and its pivotal role in the Allied victory in Europe.
