Lancaster Bombers
Posted: 25 Jun 2023, 10:37
Around 1948-1950, my parents took me back to Calne, Wilstshire, where mum and my sister were evacuated, and I was born!
Whilst there, I remember dad driving around the area, and we passed alongside an airfield where lots of Lancaster Bombers were lined up against the fence. It always stuck in my mind as there seemed to be dozens of them, and Lancasters and Spitfires were always my favourite warplanes
It was obviously an RAF base, but not sure which one it was, but RAF Lyneham seems the most likely.
Any moonrakers on here who know the area, and can confirm whether the old Lancasters were taken there after the war? A photo would be bonus.
