Cockpit
Bull Creek Western Australia. Taken on a recent trip to the RAAF WA heritage Museum. I was lucky to get a walk through inside.
The model in the possession of the Museum is a Mk VII, serial no NX 622, currently on display in WWII squadron colours. This aircraft was manufactured in May 1945 and did not see active service in WWII, flying with the RAF for only 7 hours before being converted in 1951 to a maritime reconnaissance aircraft for the French Navy.
According to John Baker, the museum's Lancaster was built by the Austin Motor Company, the only company other than Avro that built Lancasters. Some details are on the Austin Memories website.
