Lancaster R5868 ‘S’ for Sugar of 467 Squadron, Royal Australian Air Force, taxies in at RAF Waddington on the morning of 27 April, 1944, having completed her 95th operation, a raid on the ball-bearing factory at Schweinfurt, Germany.

Sporting on her fuselage Goering’s infamous quotation
“No enemy plane will fly over the Reich territory….”
‘S’ for Sugar went on to complete 137 operational sorties. This famous bomber, restored to her former glory, now resides in the RAF Museum as a lasting tribute to the men of RAF Bomber Command.

Looks like a bog-standard pictures of a Lancaster, doesn't it? Well, these are pictures showing the last take-off and flight of the last operational Lancaster of the RAF (11 years after the war!)

That's my local! Ain't she pretty?! The first couple of shots are from when she lived out at Perth Airport (she's ex-French) and the noseart shot is how she looks today in the RAAF Museum Bullcreek.

I really must get there and get pics of the displays they've put up. Really impressive stuff and lots of reading. If anyone makes it down to Perth, I'll take you there!
