Ropey - a Lanc with teeth
« on: July 10, 2013, 05:28:01 AM »
This is "Ropey", with its four sharkmouths one of the more colourfully decorated Lancasters of the war. It flew as part of 419 Squadron RCAF with several different crews and survived the war with 66 mission markings on its nose. Some photos and a brief history can be found here.

Very nice.  I've mentioned that one a couple times in threads about shark mouthed decorations.  Nice to see it added.

Very nice!  Any chance of getting once of the Lanc skins from the previous version that hat the white tail or the yellow wing tips?  I know the RAF was not the most colorful bunch of the war but the Lanc could really use some color!  :)

I'm hoping to see the Yellow Wing Lanc.  I used that one a LOT, if it wasn't the White Tail Lanc. :aok

Above is the answer I had found the photos of that one years ago with the yellow tips.
