    Good stuff, Keith. Do you have any of the Manchester and the Canadian Lancs for comparison?

    Lancaster file

    Hi Andy,
    After flick through I thought these may be of interest, regarding Canada Badged Lancasters, adding an oddity I had never seen before.
    Cheers

    "G" for George of 460sq

    This is the photo on my desktop of "G for George" of 460sq at the Australian War Memorial. I am always amazed in the close view at the size of the bomb doors.

    Here are copies of a photo I have signed by Ernie Taylor as well as scanned newspaper article about the Lancasters that were being built in Canada, not sure of the date, but I have been told that maybe the photo was the original that was brought in from England the original that the Canadian Lancasters were copied from, I am still trying to find out more information

    I started this project trying to find out what year the photo was taken. The newspaper clipping is from the Toronto Star, but I do not know the date. I am trying to put some history to what I have.

    Correct, the Lincoln was an improved Lancaster with higher payload, higher operational ceiling and (important for the Pacific) longer range.
