• Bernhard Häussner said:

  Wold guess by the caption it's Wangerooge, Friesland, Niedersachsen. An Island by the way. Streets look a bit similar too.

Upkeep mine loaded

from The National Archives UK

• John said:

  Guy Gibson's aircraft "G" George. It survived the war but was scrapped without thought or ceremony in 1947/8.

• Not the Fake Nate said:

  John This is an important photo. Gibson was 617 squadron cmmdr, right? I love how we can see the mechanism that rotated the bomb on this Lancaster.

• Frantic Friction said:

  Vraiment interessante comme composition

• Jens Roesner said:

  I never heard the term "Upkeep mine" and thought it looked like a rotating, bouncing bomb... More info: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bouncing_bomb#Upkeep

  Lancaster B.III (Special) G-Gorge Dambuster

• lindad4a said:

  My uncle was part of the ground crew for the Dambusters. He had a life-long love for Lancasters and when I took him to the Aviation Heritage Centre at East Kirkby in 2001, he was thrilled to be reunited with one of his girls.
