Hi Guys
As you will know I have been researching my distant cousin's Lancaster for a number of years and was lucky enough to find an image of his aircraft. I wonder whether it might be nice to post images here with the serial number of the aircraft for family researchers to download and keep as a pictorial reference to pass on.

...thoughts?

That's going to be a lot of photographs!

Without looking the figures up: ~7600 Lancaster / Manchester, ~6100 Halifax, ~11,500 Wellington, ~2400 Stirling, ~4400 Blenheim, ~1400 Hampden, ~1800 Whitley, ~7800 Mosquito...

...and that's just the main British-built bombers, no US-built aircraft at all!

(OK, I had to look some of the figures up!)
