Day Duties for the Night Workers

When the Lancasters returned from a night time bombing mission over the Ruhr, the work began for the maintenance crews to check over and repair the aircraft for the next trip.
The crews totally relied on this work to make the aircraft as reliable as possible so everything was checked and double checked.
They also had to re-fuel and re-arm the guns and load the bombs and this continued day after day.

With the print is an author signed copy of the book ‘Heroic Endeavour’
