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:
