Hi guys - first post on the forum, though some of you will possibly know me from the Lancaster Archive forum (amongst others.....)

Just wanted to share this picture, that I came across only recently, whilst visiting my late fathers navigator from his first tour in 1943 - my father flew 2 tours with 75(NZ) - Stirlings in '43 and Lancs in '45. The image below is of EH939 JN-Johnny, that the boys flew 13 of their 21 ops in.....

Here are a couple of photos that are very similar to some I've already posted but I do believe they are slightly different.
