    Have been trawling thru YOUTUBE for some Lancaster / Bomber Command material.

    Some good things found which I am now linking to from my site:

    Can anyone identify the Squadron involved in the formation flying crash?

    Sorry Robin, but the crash looks like Computer generated graphics. :)

    You are not alone in being fooled,.
    This amazing bit of work by a Japanese animator of mossies in flight has caught me and many others out too:

    Well worth a look.

    Cheers,

    I reckon Adam's right - that looks like a simulation, for sure.....

    Yes, well, you could be right.

    On second inspection the trees look a bit dodgy!!

    Guess I was taken in by the grainy images.

    Will leave it up for a while, to see whether there are other opinions

    Anyway the rest are OK? (I think!)

    The 156Sqn clip is interesting, almost certainly a composite I think. The conversation indicates a "first mission", unlikely for 156, and no Target Indicators were mentioned in the bomb load.
