The Lancaster bomber - PA474, acquired by the BBMF in 1973, is one of only two surviving airworthy examples of the type. Built in mid-1945 and having been flown for much of her service with the BBMF as the "City of Lincoln", PA474 previously wore the markings of the "Phantom of the Ruhr", a Lancaster that flew 121 sorties (a so-called "ton-up" Lancaster). Lancaster currently carries the markings of AR-L 'Leader', which served with No 460 Squadron (RAAF). PA474 displays the markings of bombs for operations over Germany, ice-cream cones for operations over Italy and poppies when she releases poppies during exhibition flights. During the 2008 RAF Waddington Air Day, PA474 was flown in formation with the recently restored Avro Vulcan XH558 in an historic display of two Avro "heavy metal" classics. Designed and handmade in the UK, this delightful pin is made from the alloy of aircraft aluminium and copper and plated in silver. The Lancaster Pin features as part of a growing collection that allows you to own a piece of history of the most iconic aircraft, with all profits benefiting the Royal British Legion in supporting the Armed Forces community. Dimensions: 3cm (H) x 2cm (W) x 1cm (D)
