EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment as Avro Lancaster G-AHJW, formerly known as ED866, prepares for its final flight before the tragic incident that occurred on November 22, 1948. The Avro Lancaster, a iconic British four-engine bomber used extensively during World War II, is seen here in its post-war role with Flight Refuelling, a leading organization in the field of air-to-air refueling. The Lancaster, registered G-AHJW, had served valiantly during the war, but its post-war life was dedicated to transporting fuel to keep other aircraft in the air. However, on that fateful day in November, the Lancaster met with misfortune. While on approach to land at Andover Airfield, the aircraft crashed, marking the end of its service life. The cause of the accident remains unclear, but the incident was a sobering reminder of the risks inherent in aviation, even in the post-war era. This photograph, taken prior to the crash, offers a glimpse into the history of this remarkable aircraft and the vital role it played in both war and peace. The Avro Lancaster, with its distinctive silhouette and powerful presence, remains an enduring symbol of British aviation heritage.
