EDITORS COMMENTS
The City of Lincoln, a majestic Lancaster bomber from the 1980s, gracefully rests at RAF Scampton for inspection by esteemed members of the Guinea Pig Club and their honored guests. This rare sight captures the essence of aviation history, showcasing one of the few remaining Lancaster bombers still soaring through the skies. The photograph, expertly captured by Ian Featherstone for Memory Lane Prints, transports us back to a time when military planes dominated our horizons. The City of Lincoln stands as a testament to the bravery and skill of those who served in the Royal Air Force (RAF), symbolizing their unwavering dedication to protecting our skies. As we gaze upon this iconic Avro aircraft, we are reminded not only of its remarkable flight capabilities but also its historical significance. The Lancaster bomber played a vital role during World War II, delivering devastating blows to enemy targets and providing crucial support to ground troops. In this particular moment frozen in time on May 20th, 1980, RAF Scampton becomes an epicenter for admiration and reverence. Members of the Guinea Pig Club - an association formed by brave pilots who underwent reconstructive surgery after sustaining severe burns during wartime missions - gather alongside other distinguished guests to inspect this magnificent machine. Ian Featherstone's print encapsulates both nostalgia and awe-inspiring power as it immortalizes The City of Lincoln amidst its well-deserved rest at RAF Scampton.
