Description
Lancaster - Dawn Return
Lancasters on final approach to their Lincolnshire base , weak runway lights welcoming them home, as the morning sun starts to light up the wintry countryside. With another sortie safely tucked away the crews wearily go through the landing procedure. Another ’op’ is added to the tally to complete their ‘tour’ requirement. With an average loss rate of around 4%, and a tour requirement of 30 missions, it was obvious that the odds were not on your side to survive the tour. This time the gods smiled and at least four crews made their way to the relished fried egg breakfast!

Another superb piece of work from you Pat. The composition really grabs your attention and it's got great 'presence'. A fitting tribute to the brave men who flew in these wonderful aircraft. Congratulations. Fav'/voted.

Not many Lancs left. Wonderful shot.
