Description

Happy Birthday Rob!!! Avro Lancaster KB 882 (Type 10 A.R.) flew with R.A.F. Bomber Command No 6 Group, 428 Squadron, a Canadian formation in WW2. This aircraft flew eleven successful missions over enemy territory. Kept in storage from 1945 until 1952, it was then used as a photo reconnaissance aircraft with the 408 Squadron at Rockcliffe, Ontario, until 1964. The KB 882 was flown to Edmundston on July 14, 1964, where it remains one of only three aircraft of this type in existence. This monument was erected in September 1985 by 251 Madawaska Wing R.C.A.F.A. in recognition for services rendered by the R.C.A.F. and its airmen during the two world wars.

This is a most excellent capture and wonderful history! It doesn't seem sane that this rare bird would be left outside at the mercy of the elements. It doesn't look very well protected from invaders either! Still, it is wonderful to see it in this setting!
