Just Jane is a Lancaster bomber based at the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre in East Kirkby. Visitors to the centre can see the Lancaster in all it's glory and may be lucky enough to see it taxi down the runway. One thing that you cannot do however is to get on board... We can now give you the chance to see where the seven Lancaster Crew members would have worked with our special audio-visual tour.
Please note that the tour is quite a large file and may take a few seconds to download. Nineteen Lancasters departed from RAF Scampton near Lincoln on the night of 16th May 1943. Their destination was the Ruhr Valley where their mission was to destroy three dams - the Eder, the Mohne, and the Sorpe. Of the 19 aircraft that left the base, 8 failed to return, but despite these losses the mission was considered a success with two of the dams breached and the third damaged. The innovative 'bouncing' bomb spun as it was dropped from the plane. This allowed it to 'skim' across the surface of the water and then cling to the face of the dam and roll down it's wall to the base where it would cause maximum damage. |
