Ex NX616, delivered to the French navy in 1952 and seen dumped at Le Bourget seven years later.

Seen in open store at Lavenham one very gloomy Sunday afternoon just before Christmas 1969. Following the demise of the Historic Aircraft Preservation Society its aircraft were taken over by Reflectaire Limited led by John Roast and some were moved to Lavenham, Suffolk, including G-ASXX which was flown from Biggin Hill to Lavenham by Neil Williams on 30 March 1969. It remained at Lavenham until 7 February 1970 when it flew to Hullavington, Wilts.

Built in 1945, too late to see active service in the Second World War, this Lancaster flew for the French navy in the early 1950s as WU-13. It was deployed to New Caledonia in 1957 until its donation to MOTAT in 1964. The aircraft is now painted as NE181 JN-M, which served with 75 (NZ) squadron and completed over 100 bombing missions in Europe during WWII.

Ex French Navy WU-15, RAF NX611. Gate guard at RAF Scampton from 1977 until 1987. Now preserved by Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre at East Kirkby, under restoration to flying condition.

Ex French Navy WU-15, NX611. Owned by the Historic Aircraft Preservation Society, and carrying the appropriate code 'HA-P'. Used as RAF Scampton's gate guardian for many years before going to East Kirby, where it is kept in taxying condition as 'Just Jane'. The long-term aim is to restore it for flight.

Ex Aeronavale, on the fire dump. The identity has not been confirmed - it could be WU-34 ex PA426 or perhaps (more likely) WU-22 coded 4S-6 ex NX616. See https://www.key.aero/forum/historic-aviation/44622-lancaster-burnt-at-le-bourget-2005-zombie.

ex RAF NX664. This aircraft was delivered to Aeronavale as WU-21 in 1952. It was damaged while landing, Mata Uti, Wallis Islands, South Pacific and stripped and abandoned in 1963. The hulk was recovered in 1984 and conveyed to Le Bourget for restoration

French navy Lancaster WU13 is seen here parked on the western side of the airfield of Wellington while still being operated by 9S. Around February 27th or 28th 1964, she flew from Wellington to Auckland and then back to Noumea, where she was based. Less than two months later, this aircraft flew back to Auckland Whenuapai where it was handed over to the Museum of Transport & Technology in Auckland on April 15th 1964. On that day, WU15 was present as well to ferry back the crew of WU13. By then, WU13 had been fitted with 0.5-inch machine guns in all turrets. Since then, WU13 has been preserved there in RAF WWII colour scheme and markings as NX665.

Modified to represent ED932 of 617 Squadron with cut-out bomb bay and mock "bouncing bomb" for filming of the "Dambusters" movie.

Delivered just 3 days earlier after a journey of 23 days and 12,000 miles from Mascot, New South Wales for the Historic Aircraft Preservation Society and sporting various emblems from its journey.

Painted as NX611, still wearing "Spirit of Surfers Paradise" logo from delivery flight. Also marked as "Guy Gibson". It is operated by the Historic Aircraft Preservation Society.
