I love those. Probably my favourite WW2 aircraft.

When I went to the Three Lancasters event last year I picked up a leaflet about this project...you might get your wish!

Here you go Monty, just for you

The film 633 Squadron, directed by Walter Grauman in 1964, has become something of a cult, thanks to interminable repeats on television and the stirring theme music written by Ron Goodwin. The film, about a fictional RAF fighter-bomber squadron in World War Two, was the first aviation film to be shot in colour. It was panned by the critics for its many historical inaccuracies but was subsequently voted one of the best 100 British war films of all time. George Lucas once credited it as an influence on his so called "trench run" sequence in Star Wars.
