The Avro Lancaster
Was a four-engine
British
Second World War heavy
bomber
An iconic plane of the
RAF
It first saw active
service
With Bomber Command in
1942
Where it soon
overshadowed
Its close contemporaries
The Handley Page
Halifax
And the Short Stirling
It was affectionately
known
As The
"Lanc"
Perhaps best
remembered
For Operation Chastise
Or the dam busters
raid
Where it delivered
Barnes Wallis’s
"Bouncing bomb"
With devastating
effect
It was on to carry
The earthquake boms
Tallboy and Grand Slam
Used on V2
installations
