The Avro Lancaster is the most famous and successful RAF heavy bomber of World War Two. 7,377 were built, however there are only two airworthy Lancasters left in the world.
Lancaster PA474 was built at the Vickers Armstrong Broughton factory at Hawarden Airfield in Chester on May 31 1945 - just after VE day. The war in the Far East ended before she was deployed and she did not take part in any hostilities.
