Excellent model, or the real thing? Hard to tell in this light and camera angle. But a great photo! I read Leo McKinstry's book many years ago. Very impressive! The quote from a B-17 crewman said a lot - "It's a damned flying bomb bay!" For those interested, here's the web address to the book at Amazon.com -

An excellent photo of one of the classic "war winner" airplanes. I've seen a Lanc in Canada and it is indeed an impressive bird. I also read the article about Mr. Bence visiting. God bless all our veterans!

WE have a flying example here in the UK, it regularly flies about the skies of Bedfordshire, heard it once, but not captured it yet, I will sometime though. Great shot bloke!
