Title: Ropey - a Lanc with teeth
Post by: Greebo 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 (http://www.419squadronbewarethemoose.com/Ropey.html).

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