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.

Great image! I've worked on aircraft for many years and I know it gets ..scary...to see planes I've worked on sitting out on display! Luckily for me, I don't go as far back as this beauty!

Superb image and narrative!

Mmmm. a Mosquito on steroids. I once saw captions in a cheap book mistake a Lancaster for a Mosquito... there is kind of a resemblance... And most people seeing one of these babies coming at them would probably have their eyes closed anyway... ;-) Great photo!

Perfect for Rob and a great head-on shot!

What a superb capture! Are the threatening skies a metaphor for the turbulent past of this vintage craft?
