From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Avro Lancaster is a British four-engine heavy bomber used by the Royal Air Force and other Commonwealth air forces during World War II. Of the 7,377 aircraft built, 3,736 were lost during the war (3,249 in action and 487 in ground accidents). Today 17 remain in complete form: two are airworthy, and two others are in taxiable condition with working engines. Of the preserved airframes, eight are preserved in Canada, where some Lancasters were converted and used for Cold War maritime patrols until 1964. Only four of the preserved 17 – KB839, KB882, R5868, and W4783 – flew operational sorties over Continental Europe during the War.
