Sad though to see such an immaculate looking machine off to the breakers :(

+1 ( as they say at Avsim ).

Great video Garry, and thanks for posting it. One thing in the commentary that caught my attention - that two out of every three bombs dropped on Germany were carried there in Lancasters. Does that just refer to Bomber Command statistics, or does that include the USAAF too ? I have a feeling that our American chums might take exception to the statement. ;)
