The prototype Lancaster BT308 was assembled and had its initial test flights at Ringway. It is seen here with the initial small fins supplemented by a third on the fusealage. After its first flight on 9 January 1941, the familiar larger elliptical twin fins were fitted. From Avro 60 years ago. This photo was added on 27 December 2018, and has since been viewed 326 times. |
