About the Item

To see our other original vintage warbird aeroplane posters, photographs and paintings, scroll down to "More from this Seller" and below it click on "See all from this Seller". An Avro Lancaster II at its dispersal point Silver gelatin print 12 x 16 cm Stamped to reverse ‘This photograph has been passed by censor’ ‘Copyright. The TP copyright illustration from ‘The Aeroplane’ must not be reproduced without the written permission of Temple Press Ltd.’ December 1943 The Avro Lancaster II was fitted with the rotary Bristol Hercules engine. There was a fear that there would be a shortage of Rolls-Royce Merlin engines, therefore 300 were produced by Armstrong Whitworth in Coventry with an alternative engine. Here it is pictured at an airfield, coming out of the mist. Somewhere probably in East Anglia, an area prone to fog, this atmospheric shot is enhanced by the second Lancaster bomber that is just about visible in the background and the human figure, dwarfed by the aeroplane, standing on concrete to the right. 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.
