Canadian Lancaster over Lincoln

This is Canadian built (one of 430) Lancaster FM-213,  restored and based at Mount Hope. She is owned and flown by the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum in Hamilton, Ontario. FM-213 is seen here depicting KB-726 of 419 Moose Squadron  R.C.A.F (6 Group RAF Bomber Command), and honors the memory of Victoria Cross recipient  Pilot Officer Andrew Charles Mynarski, V.C. It now wears a large Victoria Cross on both sides of the cockpit commemorating the 50th Anniversary of the Cambrai Raid on June 12/13, 1944 where Andrew   Mynarski lost his life, trying to save Pat Brophy the tail-gunner who was trapped in his rear turret.
