Nanton and a Lancaster
Exercise off day!
Ever since I was a kid, I've been reading about the derring dos of intrepid airmen in Avro Lancasters of Bomber Command carrying out daring raids all over Germany in WWII. The famous 617 sqn with their dam busting raids and carrying the Tall Boy bomb that sank the Tirpitz.
Finally I got to see a Lancaster bomber up close and personal and just about crawl all over and inside it too.... a dream come true!
The town, Nanton, where the Lanc is based. Small town, but a really interesting part of the prairies;
A historical grain tower..circa...long ago..
Main Street
