This striking image features Avro Lancaster PA474 in flight, preserved in its WWII-era Night Bomber camouflage—a dark, low-visibility scheme used during strategic bombing missions. The aircraft bears RAF roundels, squadron codes “WS J,” and a distinctive fin flash on a white vertical stabilizer.
Photographed by Stuart H Bourne, PA474 is one of only two airworthy Lancasters in the world, operated by the RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight. Though built in 1945 and never saw combat, PA474 has been meticulously restored to represent operational bombers of RAF Bomber Command.
Ideal for aviation enthusiasts and collectors, this listing honors the legacy of the Lancaster and its role in shaping aerial warfare history.
