Avro Lancaster R5868
‹ Return to Aviation History
Not sure if this Lanc flew the most operations or whether it had the second highest tally? I’ve a book that states R5868 flew more operations than any other. Only about 35 Lancasters flew and survived more than 100 operations.
love the lights and tone in this one — instant fav
