Avro Lancaster

Here are a couple of photographs of an Avro Lancaster at the Woodford Airshow in June 1994:

The brochure of the event had this note about the aircraft:

 

'The Battle of Britain Memorial flight are once again present this year with the Avro Lancaster, PA474. Carrying new markings after her winter overhaul at RAF St Athan, she wears the codes of IX Squadron “WS J” Johnnie Walker, (look for the famous scotch whisky emblem on the left side of the nose). The aircraft depicted was serial no. W4964 and completed over 100 sorties. She was one of the aircraft converted to carry the 12,000 lb “Tallboy” bomb and as such was selected to be part of the attack on the German battleship Tirpitz. W4964 was the only aircraft to score a direct hit on the ship during the raid. Later in the war the aircraft became an instructional airframe and was eventually struck off charge in November 1949. Part of the original aircraft can be seen today at Newark Air Museum.'
