Avro Lancaster Mk,I/III

Revell Avro Lancaster Mk.I/III – plastic model kit

The four-engined Avro Lancaster was without doubt the most famous of the RAF's heavy bombers in the Second World War. From 1942 it was the backbone of the night bombing offensive deep into Germany, and it became famous for sinking the Tirpitz and destroying the Möhne and Eder dams. The Lancaster could carry up to 9,980 kg of bombs, and the heaviest single bomb was the 'Grand Slam'.

It served until 1945 with 68 squadrons of RAF Bomber Command and flew more than 156,000 sorties. Of the 7,300 aircraft built in total, almost half were lost, and today only two airworthy examples remain – one in the United Kingdom and one in Canada.
