This peaceful scene at East Kirkby in the winter of 1944 gives
a very real feel for the vitally important work undertaken by
ground crew in all weathers. At this stage of the war, to help
identification at a distance, the tail fins of 57-squadron Lancasters
wore a black vertical bar on a red background. The squadron flew
on 348 raids, with 108 Lancasters lost in action. Signed by 57
Squadron Lancaster pilot Flt. Lt. Phil Ainley DFC. |
