The Avro Lancaster: Restoration
a documentary
The Avro Lancaster: Restoration tells the story of two very different Avro Lancaster four engine bombers, as well as the remarkable and brave young men who flew them in RAF Bomber Command during the Second World War. It is the story of FM159 at the Bomber Museum of Canada in Nanton, Alberta, represented in her wartime service role, and FM104, currently being restored at the BC Aviation Museum in Victoria, British Columbia to her post-war livery, when she served in Coastal Command in response to Soviet era tensions in the 1950s. One airplane, two very different faces. It speaks as well to the role of Bomber Command in the Allied victory, and Arthur Harris, and touches on the profound violence in the skies above Fortress Europe for years before the landings in Normandy in 1944 and the subsequent liberation of Europe.
The documentary is hosted on my YouTube channel, and is linked here.
