PD328 was used for several long distance flights starting in 1944 initially in standard Lancaster configuration. It was modified along the lines of a Lancastrian for a series of polar flights. Its last epic journey was to New Zealand and Australia in 1946. In 1948 Aries was scrapped. Photo from: National Library of Australia
