Here's a pic of Lancaster A66-2 G for George being dismantled at RAAF Fairbairn for insertion into the AWM.

The Lancaster flew as part of the Victory Loan tour in March and April of 1945 visiting airfields in the Eastern states and South Australia. It was accompanied by Beaufort A9-580 which was also allocated to the AWM but sadly wound up being scrapped.



The CMP was a configuration used by the RAAF.
