Carries the markings of the RAF's 617 "The Dambusters" Squadron. In addition to its standard "010" tail code, it displays the commemorative code "AJ-N" which was that of one of the Lancasters on "Operation Chastise", the 1943 raid on dams in the Ruhr, Germany. Later joined II(AC) squadron and carried its 100th anniversary special colours. Written off in 2014 due to a bird strike which necessitated an emergency landing at Manston, Kent. Subsequently displayed at the Cornwall Aviation Heritage Centre. This photo is copyright © David A. Montgomery, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
