Lancaster Bomber VN-N R5689
Original Silver Gelatin photograph
11 x 16 cm
Stamped to reverse ‘This TP Copyright illustration from ‘The Aeroplane’ must not be reproduced without the written permission of Temple Press.’
The photograph – and several others of the Swinderby based R5689 of 50 Sqn – was taken on the base open day in June 1942, a week or so after the aerodrome had reopened having been improved with concrete – rather than grass – runways.
R5689 was destroyed on the night of 18/19 September that year. It had been on a sea mining mission and crashed on landing when both port engines failed. Four crew members were killed and three further were injured.
It is proposed that R5689 be imortalised by the Bomber Gateway Trust with a lifesize replica spraying poppies across the country, just a short distance from its crash site in Lincolnshire. Further funding is required before the project can be completed. They have ‘colourised’ a copy of this photograph on their website.
Provenance: from the collection of Philip J R Moyes, author of many books on the RAF, most notably The Pictorial History which ran to several volumes.

Lily Mars was named after the 1943 American musical starring Judy Garland and was based at RAF Waterbeach, in Cambridgeshire. A podcast gives details of the final flight on 13 June 1944 which was to be the final raid of the crew’s tour. The bombing raid was of 303 Lancasters against the Nordstern synthetic oil plant at Gelsenkichen in the Ruhr, deep inside Germany and the aircraft took off at 23.12 hrs. On the home run LL678 was intercepted and shot down by a night fighter capitained by Oberleutnant Schmidt in a Bf 110 at 01.24 hrs at Zuidloo, a small hamlet, where five of the eight crew are buried; the other three crew members baled out and escaped.

Measurements: Framed 18 x 14.5 x 1.25 inches Photograph 12.5 x 8.75 inches Sabine Weiss biography: For over sixty years, Sabine Weiss’s name has been synonymous with the seminal era of French Humanist photography. A living legend, Weiss’s images from 1950s Paris speak of a postwar time when a feeling of hope and joie de vivre could be felt in the people populating the city’s cafes, squares, streets, and in all corners throughout Paris. Weiss would photograph individuals going about their daily lives capturing their emotions and creating a style that combined spontaneity and informality, backed by photographer’s intuition and knack for seeing and celebrating the simple joys of life. As she said, “I take photographs to hold on to the ephemeral, capture chance, keep an image of something that will disappear: gestures, attitudes, objects that are reminders of our brief lives. The camera picks them up and freezes them at the very moment that they disappear. I love this constant dialogue between myself, my camera and my subject, which is what differentiates me from certain other photographers, who don’t seek this dialogue and prefer to distance themselves from their subject.” Originally from Switzerland, Weiss moved to Paris in 1946 where she first assisted fashion photographer Willy...Category
