RM2T8R7A9–Avro Lancaster Bomber, The Avro Lancaster is a British four-engined Second World War heavy bomber designed and built by Avro for the Royal Air Force (RAF). It first saw active service with RAF Bomber Command in 1942 and, as the strategic bombing offensive over Europe gathered momentum, it became the main heavy bomber used by the RAF, the RCAF, and squadrons from other Commonwealth and European countries serving within the RAF, overshadowing its close contemporaries the Handley Page Halifax and Short Stirling.

Incredibly this precious aircraft was not saved from the scrapheap after being displayed on Oxford street in London, only a section of the nose from the aircraft was saved and is exhibited at the RAF Museum Hendon.

RMT15B84–The Short Stirling was the first four-engined heavy bomber to be introduced into service with the Royal Air Force during the Second World War. It entered squadron service in early 1941, and was praisedfor its ability to out-turn enemy night fighters and its favourable handling characteristics, although the altitude ceiling was often a subject of criticism. The Stirling was relegated to second line duties from late 1943, due to the increasing availability of the more capable Handley Page Halifax and Avro Lancaster, which took over the strategic bombing of Germany.
