Well there's a parallel there, in that Guy Gibson's actual Dams Raid Lancaster, ED932, continued in use after the war as part of the Scampton Station Flight, before being scrapped at Scampton without thought in July 1947

What wouldn't a museum give for that as an exhibit today....

Which makes me still wonder when deciding by which Vulcan was going to go to the RAF Museum......they picked XL318 over a Black Buck mission example and in particular XM607.....
