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.

Lancaster LL678 ‘Lily Mars’ – I Original Silver Gelatin photograph, December 1943 12 x 16 cm Stamped to reverse ‘The Photograph has been passed by Censor’ ‘Copyright This TP copyright illustration from “The Aeroplane” must not be reproduced without the written permission of Temple Press Ltd’. ‘A general view of an Avro Lancaster II with Hercules radial motors.’ 300 Lancaster II aeroplanes were made, fitted with Bristol Hercules radial engines, as there was a worry that there would be a shortage of Merlin engines, reserved for the Spitfire and Hurricane. 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.
