English: Avro Lancaster ‘Thumper’ Mk III undergoing maintenance workin the BBMF hangar at RAF Coningsby.
The Lancaster is the most famous and successful RAF heavy Bomber of World War Two. It is a legend that lives on today and the contribution made by the aircraft and its crews to the freedom of our nation should never be forgotten. 7,377 Lancasters were built between 1941 and early 1946. Of these, some 3,500 were lost on operations. The Royal Air Force Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (RAF-BBMF) is administratively part of the Royal Air Force No 1 Group and operates from RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire. They have Spitfires, Hurricanes, a Lancaster and Dakota as well as Chipmunks in the flight. The aircraft are regularly seen at events commemorating World War II, upon British State occasions, notably the Trooping the Colour celebrating Queen Elizabeth II's birthday and at air displays throughout the United Kingdom and Europe.
