EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Avro Lancaster I, R5868, affectionately known as "Sugar," being prepared for its 137th wartime sortie. The Lancaster, a legendary British heavy bomber, is shown at RAF Scampton, its former base, as ground crew diligently work to arm and fuel the veteran aircraft. With its distinctive rounded nose and four Rolls-Royce Merlin engines, the Lancaster was a formidable presence in the skies during World War II. Initially preserved as a gate guardian at RAF Scampton, R5868 is a testament to the bravery and determination of the airmen who flew these magnificent machines. The Lancaster's impressive service record includes 137 sorties, a feat that speaks to the durability and effectiveness of this iconic aircraft. Today, R5868 is no longer a guardian of the gate, but rather a proud addition to the Bomber Command Aircraft Collection at the RAF Museum, Hendon. The Lancaster continues to inspire awe and respect as a reminder of the sacrifices made during the war and the important role that the RAF played in securing victory. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the Avro Lancaster was a symbol of hope and resilience in the face of adversity.
