The aircrew of Bomber Command made a significant contribution during World War II and payed a heavy price for their devotion to duty. One of the aircraft that best illustrates their contribution and the men who sadly paid the ultimate price is Avro Lancaster ED888. This aircraft completed an astonishing 140 bombing missions – the most flown by any Lancaster in the war. Known as “The Mother of Them All”, this aircraft managed to survive the war, shooting down two Luftwaffe fighters in the process. Avro Lancaster ED888 was the most prolific of the “Ton-up” Lancaster’s and is a fitting way to mark the 75th anniversary of the first flight of Avro’s most famous bomber.
