Mind if I add a bit of "Canadian Content"?

Just click on each Sqn listed. 6 Gp was a Bomber Command Group in WW2 that was predominantly Cdn.


From that site. The first Canadian built Lancaster "Ruhr Express".

Great web-site Darrell, thanks for posting a link to it. I thoroughly enjoyed scrolling through the pics and enjoyed seeing a Merlin engined Halifax, POISON from 434 Squadron. Most people think of the Halifax as a purely radial engined aircraft as most were built with the Bristol Hercules engine. Just as most associate the Lancaster with the Merlin V12 engine, a few, about 300 were built with radial engines. Derek.
