Your right, Cheshire did 100 trips and so did a few others, "Tubby' Baker 635 Sqd did 100 in Wimpeys, Stirlings and Lancs. Other members of the flight crews also did high numbers.

Some of the aircraft had an amazing run of luck as well, with 30 known Lancs to have completed 100 or more, 130 odd is the highest number I think, S suger?
Aussies very own G George in Canberra war memorial did 90 trips!

A good read because it has a lot of photos, which really tell the story, is Lancaster, by M Garbett and B Goulding.
