There is also the replica front end (WOp and forward) of Lancaster R5868 PO-S which was built by Martin Wiloughby whose father, Ted, was the junior member of the original "Sugar"s groundcrew. Sugar was the first Lancaster to achieve 100 Ops and is preserved in the RAF Museum. The cockpit is on wheels and Martin used to take it to airshows etc and charge £1 to look around it (for charity of course). Martin's health now means that the cockpit is permanently placed at the AVRO Museum at Woodford.
