Apologies if this has been done, couldn't find it doing a search!
Small update to the gorgeous JYAI BBMF Lancaster Bomber based at RAF coningsby.
The left-hand side is painted as 460 (RAAF) Squadron Lancaster W5005, coded AR-L "Leader", which had nose art of a kangaroo playing bagpipes, indicating the Australian and Scottish backgrounds of one of its crews.
The right side carries the 50 Squadron code letters VN-T, representing the Lancaster flown by FO Douglas Millikin DFC – grandfather of the BBMF's current Officer Commanding, Squadron Leader Andy "Milli" Millikin, on 27 of his first tour of 30 operations.
Much thanks
Mark
