Description

This Avro Lancaster B.Mk I represents RAF No.9 Squadron aircraft LM220 “Getting Younger Everyday” during the U-Boat Pens raid of January 1945. Linked to the use of the huge Tallboy bomb against hardened targets, it captures a late-war Lancaster in one of the RAF’s most specialised heavy bombing roles.

A standout addition to any WWII RAF bomber collection, especially for displays focused on No.9 Squadron and famous Tallboy operations. Ideal for display and for collectors who enjoy historically significant Lancaster subjects with real mission identity.
