This plane is the only one in North America and one of a few still flying. It is the size of a B-17 but it could carry close to the bomb load of a B-29. It is the only WW II plane other than the B-29 that was cleared to carry the atomic bomb. It is also the plane that carried the huge skipping bombs that are shown in the movie "The Dam Busters". Anne is talking to a crew member. They are standing under the bomb bay.
The man in the wheel chair is talking to the crew who were sitting under wing to get out of the sun. He was a Lancaster pilot. The crew paid attention to his stories of first flying the Manchester which had a habit of breaking up in mid air because of inferior design. He said the Lancaster was a very good plane to fly and that he held the altitude record of 25000 feet in the Lancaster.The last picture is of the Lancaster in a a bank just before a low pass over the crowd
